Using Active E-learning to Accommodate the Net Generation of Learners

Abstract

This paper explores some of the active e-learning ideas and considers elearning as useful or even main method of learning in the future. On the one hand, this question is not so much technical question as educational; on the other hand, change of technologies is an important element in educational changes. Nowadays, students are different from students of previous years. This is why, educators are faced with the challenge of adapting their teaching styles to accommodate a new generation of learners. Usually, such young people are considered like the Net Generation, Millennials, Generation Y, Digital Natives, Trophy Kids etc; and they do not have the same learning expectations, styles, and needs as former students. This article assists educators in teaching the Net Generation by highlighting their characteristics and providing examples of how to adapt teaching strategies by using different e-learning tools for active learning to foster student interaction in elearning. The difference between active and passive e-learning is observed, and importance of both strategies usage is argued.
