Faculty 2.0 - Joel L. Hartman, Charles Dziuban, and James Brophy-Ellison, EDUCAUSE Review
Much has been written recently about the Net Generation—the generation (roughly twelve to twenty-five years old) that makes up the majority of students attending U.S. colleges and universities—but relatively little attention has been given to the college and university faculty who teach them. Faculty roles and the processes of teaching and learning are undergoing rapid change. Most faculty members did not seek careers in the academy because of a strong love of technology or a propensity for adapting to rapid change; yet they now find themselves facing not only the inexorable advance of technology into their personal and professional lives but also the presence in their classrooms of technology-savvy Net Generation students, leading them to feel a bit like the character Valentine Michael Smith in Robert Heinlein's 1961 novel Stranger in a Strange Land.
