Abstract—Every evolution, rooted in its principles, presents a time-relevant paradigm shift. In the regards, technological evolution has been a significant milestone in the journey of educational contributions. It has today become an integral part of the education eco-system. While generation-z students are characteristically tech-savvy, at the same time it questions the caliber of the faculty to address the needs of these students. To understand the evolution of teaching pedagogies of the classroom, a qualitative study was conducted with Connectivism as the underlying theoretical framework. Through the semi-structured interviews, twenty seven faculty were interviewed with five questions. The first round of coding was carried out using the descriptive and vivo methods and second was carried out using the focused coding. Five themes have been discussed from the round one coding and summarized using the round two. The paper presents the results and discussion of this qualitative study and opens the potential space for future technology-related research questions. Writing learning outcomes, evolving classrooms and selecting technology have been discussed with respect to technological implications. The study concludes that the research groups need to develop philosophies by integrating the technology into the learning styles.
