significant pedagogic challenges in how they acquire and process knowledge, in
comparison to other generations. Students now acquire knowledge through a
blend of learning styles and platforms, ranging from the traditional to the
high tech. Within higher education, we must actively try and engage

common interdisciplinary educational challenges and opportunities that have
emerged. This interactive discussion focuses on practical solutions that
can be deployed to meet these challenges. The purpose of the session is
to actively debate and discuss central issues surrounding our teaching to the
millennial cohort of students. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
