"As Digital Immigrants learn - like all immigrants, some better than others - to adapt to their
environment, they always retain, to some degree, their "accent", that is, their foot in the past."
Marc Prensky "Digital Natvies, Digital Immigrants", 2001

„These new generations of learners do not see technology as something foreign. They readily accept technology and consider technology to
be part of their lives. Moreover, the use of mobile technology is a 21st Century skill that
students and workers must have to function in society.“
Ally, M. (2007). Mobile Learning.The International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 8(2).

Discussion
http://www.flickr.com/photos/kitsu/404092967/sizes/o/
• Freshmen are well equipped - over years now
• Comprehensive Internet access; trend to mobile access
• Communication through Web technologies is standarized
• Web competence means mainly Wikipedia, YouTube, E-Mail and
• Facebook Usage influences the decrease of other platforms (Myspace,
FlickR, ...)
„The long-term study shows that students use so called Web 2.0 applications - it‘s
just media for them. Facebook is primarily a
communicaton medium, so it will influence our
communication and collaboration behaviour“
