Summary
Higher education must adapt to digital natives by integrating technology. Successful innovation requires student involvement and instructor training to meet evolving study behaviors.
Area of Science:
- Educational Technology
- Higher Education Pedagogy
- Digital Learning Environments
Context:
- Faculty trained pre-digital revolution contrast with 'digital native' students.
- Students expect flexible, technology-enabled learning (anytime, anywhere).
- Current educational models may not align with modern student study habits.
Purpose:
- To explore the challenges of integrating technological innovations in higher education.
- To address the gap between traditional teaching methods and digital native student expectations.
- To identify strategies for adapting educational delivery in dental schools.
Summary:
- Higher education faces challenges adapting to digital natives, whose study habits differ from faculty's pre-digital training.
- Adapting requires rethinking educational formats and methods to accommodate student expectations for technology-facilitated, flexible learning.
- Reluctance to adopt innovations among some staff presents a barrier.
Impact:
- Successful integration of technology requires student engagement and comprehensive instructor qualification.
- Dental schools must overcome staff resistance to innovation for effective adaptation.
- This research informs strategies for modernizing higher education to better serve 21st-century students.

01:30Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication
Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is bullying.
01:30Current Trends in Nursing II
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...
01:25Learning Disabilities
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.
