Abstract

The aim of this study was to provide a reflection of current trends in higher education, identify some of the changes in student behavior, and potential identification of non-traditional classroom facilitation with the purpose of strengthening active learning and use of technology in the classroom. Non-traditional teaching is emerging in the form of blended classrooms, flipped classrooms, active learning, and team based learning. Incorporation of classroom technology, includes interactive tutorials, eBooks, Toolwire simulations, and embedding media into course content. The result of the study identified the potential paradigm shift that supports the proposal of new Non-Traditional Adult Teaching Models to help faculty in post-secondary education demonstrate diverse methods of teaching from the perspective of andragogy.
