The rise of the millenials has spawned new conversations about engagement and learning on today's college campuses. But what do these Net Gen learners really want? From the mouth of a confessed Net junkie, learn what makes these students tick, what ticks them off, and what faculty and administrators need to know to bridge the generational divide.

You may have read this before in Educause Review: 'Father Google and Mother IM: Confessions of a Net Gen Learner'. Carie Windham's presentation here was very close to the article and both were great. I hadn't realised that she refers to her time as a student in the UK at the U o Ulster in the article. This was stuffed full of insight into the Neomillennial Learner. She had great presence and really carried the audience along. She told me the session was recorded so I hope to link to it rather than capture any notes. She also agreed to let me interview her about audio and how this may or may not fit well with the neomillennial so hopefully this will be coming to a podcast near you if we can find some time to sit down.

It was Carie that interviewed Liz and I at Educause - she is great, hope you do get an audio interview with her, it would be great to share her findings back at SHU.
A possible visitor, Paul?
