Traditional teaching methods in post-secondary often included using powerpoint presentations and writing on a white or blackboard. The newer generations of students have been exposed to different ways of learning and this requires instructors or teaching professors to change their way of presenting information to help the students learn it at a deeper level. Using a radical constructivism philosophy, the students are required to engage in the material in their own way, connect with their classmates in learning the information, and use previous knowledge to learn more. This presentation will discuss different techniques that have been applied in theoretical and software classes and will describe the instructor's observations of how the students learn or engage in the material differently. These concepts can be used in facilitating in any learning or training environment.
