This session is meant to open the minds of instructors, education managers, association executives, and regulators that real estate classes simply cannot be boring. The traditional approaches of lecture and strict adherence to a certain classroom etiquette do a poor job of reaching the students of today, no matter their age or background. In a world where attention is split hundreds of ways simultaneously, Instructors must find a way to cut through and make an impact.
