"This is a book that I am going to have to own, and will work to
find contexts in which to recommend. It cuts obliquely through so
many important domains of evidence and scholarship that it cannot
but be a valuable stimulus" -Hamish Macleod, University of
Edinburgh Digital connectivity is a phenomenon of the 21st century
and while many have debated its impact on society, few have
researched relationship between the changes taking place and the
actual impact on learning. Rethinking Learning in an Age of Digital
Fluency examines what kind of impact an increasingly connected
environment is having on learning and what kind of culture it is
creating within learning settings. Engagement with digital media
and navigating through digital spaces with ease is something that
many young people appear to do well, although the tangible benefits
of this are unclear. This book, therefore, will present an overview
of current research and practice in the area of digital tethering,
whilst examining how it could be used to harness new learning and
engagement practices that are fit for the modern age. Questions
that the book also addresses include: Is being digital tethered a
new learning nexus? Are social networking sites spaces for
co-production of knowledge and spaces of inclusive learning? Are
students who are digitally tethered creating new learning maps and
pedagogies? Does digital tethering enable students to use digital
media to create new learning spaces? This fascinating and at times
controversial text engages with numerous aspects of digital
learning amongst undergraduate students including mobile learning,
individual and collaborative learning, viral networking,
self-publication and identity dissemination. It will be of enormous
interest to researchers and students in education and educational
psychology.
