We want learners who are self-directed, self-regulated and know how to learn in the workplace.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We want to have teachers that guide the students to the information that they need and &#099;reate the linkages they need to be able to succeed; and we want them to perform in the new health care system in novel ways.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I believe our future is one where we use a blend of different teaching methods, tools and technology that enable students to learn in the manner and speed that best suits them,&#8221; Dr. Davies said. <\/p>\n<p>Dr. Boyers spoke to the group about clinical simulation and iEXCEL\u2120 as a &#8220;gateway to the future,&#8221; highlighting new technologies as she discussed iEXCEL as &#8220;a means to an end.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;iEXCEL\u2120 is here to help you transform the way you teach, the way students learn, and also to help advance research and discovery. In other words to be a springboard into the future,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The opportunities are only limited, in my experience, by your imagination and your willingness to have grit and try to do things in a new way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Boyers also spoke of the &#8220;sociological triple helix of academia, government, and industry,&#8221; saying it would be a part of iEXCEL\u2120.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The triple helix is a proactive stance, putting knowledge to use in creating new knowledge. As we raise our technological capabilities, we will need to engage in higher levels of training and knowledge learning.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr.
