While in the past century college was about filling student minds with the “facts of the field,” one key aspect of refreshing the courses and curriculum is to recognize that rote memorization is no longer a foundation of college education. Teaching and learning now is far less about a list of historical facts that are instantly available anywhere and at any time using the ever-enhancing technologies. Rather, our courses should be more about the skills of accessing relevant facts and information as well as the refinement of our own perspectives, ethos, philosophies and strategies in interpreting and applying the data tapped through new technologies. Reviewing our course materials and assessments with this in mind is a very useful step in updating courses to the current realities of the workplace. This calls for connecting students with industry before they graduate.
