Open University research explodes myth of 'digital native' - 4 views

  •  
    "'We found no evidence for any discontinuity in technology use around the age of 30 as would be predicted by the Net Generation and Digital Natives hypothesis,' says the report. What the reseachers do find interesting and worthy of further study is the correlation--which is independent of age--between attitudes to technology and approaches to studying. In short, students who more readily use technology for their studies are more likely than others to be deeply engaged with their work."
  •  
    That last point is pretty powerful. Need to get the data replicated elsewhere as next stage. But as always, different people are different!
