Course description

Explore generational differences and the implications they hold for teaching and learning. You will discover that each generation or cohort of individuals has a set of defining events — social, political, cultural — associated with their lives. Learn how experiences influence the way individuals see the world, including their approaches and attitudes toward learning.

  • identify and list commonly-cited characteristics and defining attributes of each of the five cohorts under consideration: Veterans, Baby Boomers, Gen Xers, Millennials/Gen Y, Gen Z.
  • discuss and apply your understanding of generational differences, and their existence/impact to your teaching context.
