The Net Generation has grown up with information technology. The aptitudes, attitudes, expectations, and learning styles of Net Gen students reflect the environment in which they were raised—one that is decidedly different from that which existed when faculty and administrators were growing up.
This collection explores the Net Gen and the implications for institutions in areas such as teaching, service, learning space design, faculty development, and curriculum. Contributions by educators and students are included. Professional printing options are available.
Please Note: This PDF contains the entire book with embedded hyperlinks of URLs, endnotes, and index terms, plus bookmarks to all chapters and sections. It thus has a very large file size. For smaller, more easily downloaded files, also with embedded hyperlinks (except for index terms, which are available in the complete book only), please see the individual chapter files below. The index file following them has page numbers for easy reference.
"This e-book offers an insightful look into the way today's students think about and use technology in their academic and social lives. It will help institutional leaders help their students to become more successful and satisfied."
—John Hitt, President, University of Central Florida
"Educating the Net Generation illuminates a topic most of us in higher education are wrestling with: Today's students are different; they're much more technosavvy in their lives, but they still like personal contact. Both can be accommodated with the thoughtful use of technology in learning. Anyone interested in providing the best education possible can use this as a first step in reflecting on what the Net Generation means for their campus."
—Karen Holbrook, President, The Ohio State University
