The purpose of this blog is to stimulate active dialogue among educators in the health sciences concerning ways to promote new educational models, principles, strategies, paradigms, and ideas for enhancing teaching and learning.  The focus is on learning-centered teaching methods that benefit  learners in the health sciences at all levels.  Sharing the latest research findings and experience on how learning occurs, especially in light of accelerating digital innovations, can lead to a stronger pedagogy.  In time, a new pedagogy may produce systemic change in which students become drivers of their own education and teachers become change agents rather than mere facilitators.  The end result may be students prepared “for any opportunity that might present itself down the road” (Richardson, 2013, p. 14).
