Bridging the Teacher-Student Divide: A Multimedia Approach to Reach Digital Native Learners

Abstract

Today’s higher education classroom is unique from previous generations. Attention spans are limited. Students are more interested in technology and social media than reading. Many critics question the value of higher education. While faith-based schools emphasize programs that are distinctively Christian, the calling to “come out and be separate” does not preclude the use of secular tools to promote effective learning. We present a multimedia pedagogy as an effective approach to student learning. Suggestions and examples are offered for implementation.
