The point is - richer insight
As an organisation with more than a quarter of a million students in more than 20 countries, and one which has broken access records on Apple's iTunes U service, the Open University would be the very last outfit to "discount the revolutionary change that is taking place". It rides on that change.The point of this article is to share insights from OU research about how students of most ages use technology. This is of interest to many educators. In doing so, it undermines the popular, rather crude oversimplification of Prensky's Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants analogy that seems to have developed over the years. The article's conclusion is very positive about technology and learning.
