Description

Prensky's paper "Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants" has influenced a number of Higher Education Institutions to tackle the growing concern that not only are students learning differently, they are also using a range of personalised digital tools to work, learn and play.

Popular and academic literature has been keen to extol the characteristics pertaining to the 'digital native' psyche, that include: speed of access to information; multi-tasking abilities; online socialisation; instant gratification and being more visually literate/aware.

If these characteristics are true, then the repercussions on how schools, colleges and Universities are going to teach this new generation of learner could well be profound, if not problematical.
