Abstract

Today’s students are born and raised in a media-rich, networked world with almost infinite possibilities. However, their digital lifestyle is about more than just cool gadgets; it is also about engagement, socialization, entertainment, and psychological development. These students learn, communicate, and socialize in ways very different from any previous generation. How does all of this affect their performance as students in online university classes? The efficacy of providing varying generations of students with a self-assessment of their online learning strategies and a customized plan to support their learning for success in an online environment will be presented and discussed in this session.
