Abstract
Objectives:
1. Describe the potential advantages and disadvantages of an active-, student-learning based classroom, with or without the use of instructional technologies.
2. Discuss their own pedagogical practices and use of instructional technologies, and what their perceived limitations may be, if any, in adopting new practices and/or technology.

Comments
This presentation will be the culmination of my doctoral dissertation on pedagogical methods and use of instructional technologies within the Jefferson School of Health Professions. This talk will present the results of a mixed-methods research study performed in 2013. Included will be a brief literature review on active- and student-centered learning, and the use of instructional technologies in higher education. This talk will also include the methodology (briefly) and results of the study, along with its limitations. Following the talk, there will be a group discussion on pedagogical methods and use of instructional technologies, where participants can discuss their own observations. A version of this talk has already been presented at the Hawaiian International Conference on Education in January 2014.
