From understanding net generation expectation to sustainable student engagement

Abstract

While evolving technology brings changes in teaching and learning environment, mega classes with a large number of students from diverse social and educational background convey another challenge in the learning dynamics. It is important to understand the diversity in students’ preferred learning styles and expectations of Net generation students. Learning activities should be designed based on the students’ preferred learning styles and expectations to enhance the sustainable student engagement which results in improved students’ learning experience and achieving the learning outcomes. New learning technology can be deployed to provide the chance to gain better knowledge through experience as well as equal opportunity to participate in classroom discussion regardless of their self-confidence level.
