Abstract
The quest for an ideal medium to deliver business content to Gen Y learners has led instructors
to consider the Internet, since digital content that exists in databases can be manipulated by a
range of programming services (Shim et al., 2006). Shim et al., have also asserted that web
development has been hampered by bandwidth and difficulties of "back end integration,"
consequently, impacting the presentational aspects of data and user interfaces (Yang & Tang,
2005). Innovations in computer and software technologies appear to have ameliorated the
technical difficulties, resulting in the emergence of new media such as podcasting, webcasting,
videostreaming, blogging, and Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL)
technologies (Shim, 2002). These new media streams can be integrated into traditional lectures,
thus enhancing the educational environment (McLaughlin, 2006), particularly for Gen Y
learners. This paper discusses the efficacy of podcasting in business education, reviews the
characteristics of Generation Y (Gen Y) learners, discusses learning styles and theories that
support mobile learning, reviews learning styles of Gen Y learners, and discusses whether
adaptations are necessary to address the updated needs of this new generation of learners in the
business communication context.

But here's the irony. "Mary is more likely to convince John than professor Mazur in front of the class," Mazur says.
"She's only recently learned it and still has some feeling for the conceptual difficulties that she has whereas professor Mazur learned [the idea] such a long time ago that he can no longer understand why somebody has difficulty grasping it."
That's the irony of becoming an expert in your field, Mazur says. "It becomes not easier to teach, it becomes harder to teach because you're unaware of the conceptual difficulties of a beginning learner."
To make sure his students are prepared, Mazur has set up a web-based monitoring system where everyone has to submit answers to questions about the reading prior to coming to class. The last question asks students to tell Mazur what confused them. He uses their answers to prepare a set of multiple-choice questions he uses during class.
Mazur begins class by giving a brief explanation of a concept he wants students to understand. Then he asks one of the multiple-choice questions. Students get a minute to think about the question on their own and then answer it using a mobile device that sends their answers to Mazur's laptop.
Next, he asks the students to turn to the person sitting next to them and talk about the question. The class typically erupts in a cacophony of voices, as it did that first time he told students to talk to each other because he couldn't figure out what else to do.
Once the students have discussed the question for a few minutes, Mazur instructs them to answer the question again.
How true this statement is! If students want to learn, they are going to learn in spite of who the teacher is or what the teacher does - no teacher is really needed!
So Mazur gave what he thought was a thorough and thoughtful explanation of the concept. He went slowly, putting all kinds of helpful diagrams up on the board.
"I thought I'd nailed it," he says. "I thought it was the best explanation one could possibly give of this question."
Mazur triumphantly turned around. "Any questions?" he asked. The students just stared at him.
"Nobody raised their hand and said, well but what if this and what if that, simply because they were so confused they couldn't," he says. "I didn't know what to do. But I knew one thing. I knew that 50 percent of the students had given the right answer."

There are also links to other equally interesting websites, presentations, slideshows, google docs, ebooks and many more. Dr Seam has assembled all the important web technology that teachers need to digitise their teaching.
Now, many common devices can automatically determine and record their own precise location and can save that data along with captured media (like photographs) or can transmit it to web-based applications for a host of uses.
