What's New with Accelerated Programs

Accelerated programs in higher education seem to still be plagued by unbelievers. With accreditation agencies measuring higher education quality on learning outcomes, it seems puzzling to me that we are concerned about seat time. The next generation of learners (millennials) have embraced the concept of learning anywhere at anytime. We in the ivory towers of higher education must get ready for new learning methods. Pew Research Center just published a report, "Social Media and Mobile Internet Use Among Teens and Young Adults." They reported that 83% of adults own a cell phone, Blackberry, or iPhone. These devices only assist us in finding information anywhere, anytime. In addition, those under the age of 30 are more likely to own a laptop or netbook than a desktop computer. Another convenience for anytime, anywhere learning. What are you doing in your in higher education accelerated program to incorporate anytime, anywhere learning?
