Today's Teaching Strategies

Understanding the changing classroom

College teaching is taking place in a moment of rapid change. Artificial intelligence, shifting workplace expectations, growing student isolation, and new patterns of attention and engagement are prompting faculty members to rethink how learning happens in their classrooms.

How can faculty members encourage students to buy in to the project of learning rather than simply complete course requirements? What strategies help students stay engaged amid growing demands on their time and attention? And how should instructors respond as the contexts surrounding higher education — technological, social, and economic — continue to shift?

This collection of articles, opinion pieces, and advice from The Chronicle’s archives examines those questions. Drawing on reporting about teaching and learning, including a series by Chronicle senior writer Beckie Supiano, the pieces explore how professors are adapting their courses and classroom practices to meet students where they are today.
