Abstract:
The current generations of students are members of the Net-generation, already possessed of advanced ICT knowledge and skills such as multitasking, interactiveness, network-based group work in collaborative environments etc. at enrolment at universities and colleges. The sophisticated use of digital technologies combined with essentially different attitude to information and media naturally lead to changes in the Net-generation’s approach to learning, which also creates their different expectations in comparison with what the established educational system and traditional learning at universities offer.
