Paper Abstract:
|
Recent years have seen a new generation of digital students emerging in the developed world. Digital students are
young adults who have grown up with digital technologies integrated as an everyday feature of their lives. Digital
students use technology differently from previous generations of students, fluidly and often simultaneously using instant
messengers, mobile phones, the Web, MP3 players, online games and more. A study performed in a UK university was
designed to identify and evaluate the use of new technologies, especially of social software, by digital students. The study
is part of a research project which is investigating how the development of the eLearning spaces might be informed by
digital students attitudes. It was the first step taken towards the development and evaluation of a new learning
environment for digital students. |
