Mathieu Plourde on 24 Feb 12As reported in U Connecticut's Daily Campus newspaper, N. Katherine Hayles, a professor at Duke University, recently gave a lecture on the impact of everyday digital media use on university students.

Professors can ignore that, stay calm and lecture on - or we can respond by adjusting our teaching styles.
