Tap them in to what they know, get them going on what they are passionate about and encourage them with skills on how to collaborate with others with similar or complimentary passions. Innovation. New, brand new exciting solutions to old problems keeps things alive and growing. This works, even on the simple tasks. Practice it there and the workplace becomes alive, moral boosts and the big tasks

Hello RUpadhyay. I think the Millennials will present a very unique challenge over the next thirty years. We're only now discovering how they process information and integrate compared to older generations, since they have recently begun college or completed an undergraduate program. I think their exposure to high technology, almost throughout their lives, will be an advantage that allows

I found this to be a very interesting post. We’ve had in-depth debates about the differences between the Generation X-ers versus the Millennials in some of my classes. Being a graduate student and a member of “Generation X,” I too wonder what direction instructional design will take with the “Millennial” generation. The transition to the newer generation seems to suggest that instructional

I've been collecting links and articles on the Learning Styles debate. They're here if you're interested:

One recent piece has a really interesting twist on Learning Styles. Instructors may find it more effective to focus on the subject's 'teaching style' than to focus on

That's a very valid point Robert, and something I hadn't considered. Several companies I have applied to recently openly asked for my SSN. I have noticed as I talk to more and more employers and recruiting companies, they are requiring an SSN to even be considered, in part so they can perform their background check. While I understand their need for this, and while I've seen no ill effects of

This is always tough for me Paul. While you want to make a great impression, there is always the issue of security. For people that have had identity theft and other cyber crimes take place, it is sometimes a hard deal to get them to post their "real" information. I know that "real" and "professional" don't necessarily have to be the same thing but just putting that into the conversation

about text to speech - "It's not ideal of course, as TTS systems (including this one) often mispronounce words and misinterpret various constructions of text (aside from the robotic delivery),"
