The provided text excerpts from "Teaching Naked: How Moving Technology Out of Your College Classroom Will Improve Student Learning" explore methods to enhance higher education by strategically reducing in-class technology use and focusing on active learning and meaningful student-faculty interaction. Bowen argues that universities should re-evaluate their teaching approaches and curriculum design in light of readily available online content and evolving student expectations. He examines how technology can be used outside the classroom for information delivery and preparation, freeing up valuable class time for application, integration, and community building. The author draws parallels to the transformation of other industries like music and journalism to emphasize the need for universities to adapt their educational product and delivery models. Ultimately, the text advocates for a hybrid approach that leverages technology thoughtfully while prioritizing engaging classroom experiences and strong pedagogical practices to improve student learning outcomes and ensure the relevance of physical campuses.
