Abstract: Majority of learners in our classrooms are digital natives or Millennials – a category of learners who tend toward independence and autonomy in their learning styles. As a result, many instructors are faced with a primary challenge of understanding digital natives and supporting them to learn effectively. This paper highlights the need to integrate active learning into classroom instruction to support digital natives.
