It seems that the new generation of teens and early-twenty somethings are so very fixated to their screens-that is, their computer screens, cell phone screens, mp3 player screens, PSP screens . . .
Technically speaking, they should have no problem navigating and adjusting to the many GUI's available through different Learner Managements Systems, CMS's, VLE's, etc.
I would suspect that they would need less time to adapt to their eLearning environments. I am however curious as to how this generation of -"immediate gratification", "wikipedia resource searching", "copy and paste paper-making", "visually stimulated"- young learners will be able to manage a TRUE college educaion, and REAL, professional, up-to-Higher Ed-standards, course delivery online. Any research findings out there?
