21st CENTURY LEARNING SPACES AND ONLINE RESIDENCY: JUST HOW MUCH TIME DO STUDENTS SPEND ONLINE?
Linda Crearie University of the West of Scotland United Kingdom Digital
technologies and the Internet have revolutionised places where
learning occurs today. Increasingly students spend a considerable
amount of time online. They may attend lectures, tutorials and
laboratories at university but are also online, e.g., to use VLEs,
email, social media, etc., to enhance their learning. This may merge
into personal social activities and students often find they are
living a large part of their lives online. A better understanding of
the impact of the internet as a place to reside both for academic
purposes and socializing should allow faster, more flexible
educational provision of modern virtual learning spaces. Any place,
any time! |
