Indeed, this aspect of traditional lecturing, one person declaimingat hopefully engaged but oftentimes bored students, is what has engendered much of thecriticism heard from students and education researchers and has driven the creation

The nature of the knowledgeworkforce is changing based on “millenials” entering college and their habits related to playingInternet based games1. According to a Pew Research study, game playing is ubiquitous amongAmerican teenagers. Fully 99% of boys and 94% of girls between the ages of 12 and 17 reportplaying video games.2 This population is entering universities bringing Internet-based learningstyles and experience into a lecture-based learning environment.

Without concisely describing the goal and listing performance objectives in such away that it can be clearly shown if they have been achieved,12 the success of the team is unlikely.In fact, in research conducted by Larson and LaFasto, they found that in every case of aneffective team, members felt the team had a clear understanding of the team goal
