As we head toward the year 2020, it would seem that education has been repackaged to meet post-millennial students. This is not far from the truth. In fact the learning in most academic institutions have switched to preparing educators to teach in flipped classrooms, MOOC structures, and in online  platforms. In this milieu of changes --both instructors and students, albeit post-millennials and other generations--are determining how to engage students online and offline through creation of social presence and relevance to education.  This session will present factors in creating presence in the classroom to engage students, share a 12-tip handout on taking best practices for offline teaching and using it online, and recommend ways to teach and work within a changing academic teaching context.
