Abstract

Many college faculty are entering retirement, yet have no plan to retire. How they will perform over the next several years? When the Boomers entered college, higher education was formal, traditional, and a privilege for the elite. Millenial students (born 1982-2000) are a 3-click generation, with expectations of fast and convenient access of their needs, including educational needs. These students have used computer technology since kindergarten. A Blended Learning environment, that couples online and classroom delivery, has become a viable pathway to bridge the gap between traditional experience of Baby Boomer academics and the high tech, rapid entitlements felt by the Millenials. How has this pedagogical paradigm shift been accomplished? This paper will explore faculty preparation and administrative infrastructure needed to support the core competencies needed to design, develop, and deliver course work in two highly differing methodologies.
