Understanding and Facilitating Learning for the Net Generation and Twenty-first-century Learners Through Motivation, Leadership and Curriculum Design

To meet the needs of the Net Gen and other twenty-first century learners, educators need to adopt a three-pronged approach through motivation, leadership and design of learning. Currently, there are many publications on ICT and/or twenty-first century learners, but none of them focus specifically on a compendium of these three domains. The aim of this book is to gather the expert opinions of a team of international authors, who through their respective chapters would offer their perspectives on how motivational, leadership and curriculum design principles and constructs can be applied to promote learning in the twenty-first century, Net Gen context. The contributions of these authors reflect the diversity and abundance of ideas, approaches and methodologies that other educators, researchers and practitioners can adopt or adapt in their own educational and socio-cultural milieus.
