Student Learning in a
Digital
Age

Digital Literacies in Higher Education
http://digital-literacies.open.ac.uk
The Net Generation: encountering e-learning at University
http://kn.open.ac.uk/workspace.cfm?wpid=8354
It will offer the opportunity for sharing research findings
and approaches and generating conversations about researching student learning
in today’s diverse, technologically-mediated HE contexts.
The kinds of issues we wish to explore in the day are:
• Are students really ‘Digital Natives’?
• What are the implications for student learning of
the ‘Net Generation’?
• What research approaches are being used to explore
student learning in a digital age?
• What theories and methodologies are being drawn
upon?
You are invited to submit an abstract for a short stimulus
paper (15 minutes) which will contribute to the day. Please send abstracts (maximum
of 300 words) by 15th January 2009 to:
