- W204533350 abstract "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 different web 2.0 technologies, instant messengers, mobile phones, the Web, MP3 players, online games and more. A study performed in a UK and Romanian university was designed to identify and evaluate the use of new technologies, especially of web 2.0 and 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. KEYWORDS Web 2.0, E-Learning, Digital Students, Mobile Learning, Desirability, Usability 1. INTRODUCTION We are living in rapid changing world. The last years have seen a powerful development of open source software, of less and less expensive ICT equipment and long-distance communication went from being expensive (and therefore time-limited) to being essentially free and notions as social software are part of our everyday life. Now, Internet users are not only finding information on the Internet; they are also creating and uploading content. The last quarter-century has seen the digitization of virtually all aspects of life - something Negroponte has called the “change of atoms into bits and pixels” (Negroponte, 1996). However, for the generation born after 1980 the digital world is even more present and pervasive than for the rest of us: for them it is the only world they know. They are the ‘digital' or 'Net' Generation (Tapscott, 1998): children or teenagers who have lived all their lives in a changing but (from their perspective) a predominantly digital world. Significantly, most students in higher education now belong to this group. We have identified these students as a special group due to their characteristics (Andone, Boyne, Dron, & Pemberton, 2005a) and we consider that this community has different learning habits from students of previous generations. The article of faith that underpins our work is that technology makes it possible to design learning situations that actively engage and guide learners while allowing them to choose their style of learning and organize their knowledge outcomes. This conceptualization of the learning environment allows learners to make the transition from learning in a physical space such as the lab or lecture theatre, to learning in a student-centred learning environment in cyberspace. Technology can change the education setting from a physical one to a virtual one. Virtual spaces may be in constant flux: they can be instantaneous, deliberate, mobile, synchronous and asynchronous. These virtual spaces can play a bigger role in all aspects of higher education through the use and integration of technology (laptops, handhelds, mobile phones) and communication (wiki, blogs, SMS, podcasting, etc). The study described here is part of a continuous project to investigate the relationship between students and their electronic learning environments, and in particular, how eLearning spaces influence and are influenced by the new student generation’s learning attitudes.. In particular, it focuses on what we have identified as ‘digital students’- the new student generation which has grown up with everyday use of technology, and which has extensive use of the digital technologies. Our research is based on the assumption" @default.
