TLDR
The findings show that the undergraduates were generally able to use unfamiliar technologies easily in their learning to create useful artefacts and the self-perception measures indicated that digital natives can be taught digital literacy.Abstract:
In recent years, there has been much debate about the concept of digital natives, in particular the differences between the digital natives' knowledge and adoption of digital technologies in informal versus formal educational contexts. This paper investigates the knowledge about educational technologies of a group of undergraduate students studying the course Introduction to eLearning at a university in Australia and how they adopt unfamiliar technologies into their learning. The study explores the 'digital nativeness' of these students by investigating their degree of digital literacy and the ease with which they learn to make use of unfamiliar technologies. The findings show that the undergraduates were generally able to use unfamiliar technologies easily in their learning to create useful artefacts. They need, however to be made aware of what constitutes educational technologies and be provided with the opportunity to use them for meaningful purposes. The self-perception measures of the study indicated that digital natives can be taught digital literacy.read more

The relationship between undergraduate students’ digital literacy and self-regulation in online interaction
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors explored the relationship between undergraduate students' digital literacy and self-regulation in online interaction (student-content, student-teacher, student student), and found that having a positive attitude and high technical knowledge and skills regarding digital technologies can help students manage online teacher, peer, and content interactions.

Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants
TL;DR: For example, this paper pointed out that students are no longer the people our educational system was designed to teach, and that a really big discontinuity has taken place in the last decades of the 20th century.

Cognitive load during problem solving: Effects on learning
TL;DR: It is suggested that a major reason for the ineffectiveness of problem solving as a learning device, is that the cognitive processes required by the two activities overlap insufficiently, and that conventional problem solving in the form of means-ends analysis requires a relatively large amount of cognitive processing capacity which is consequently unavailable for schema acquisition.
A pedagogy of Multiliteracies Designing Social Futures
Bill Cope,Mary Kalantzis +1 more
TL;DR: The authors argue that the multiplicity of communications channels and increasing cultural and linguistic diversity in the world today call for a much broader view of literacy than portrayed by traditional language-based approaches.
