Nous concluons que la plupart des étudiants se sentent à l’aise avec les technologies numériques et qu’ils utilisent les médias sociaux pour leurs liens et interactions avec leurs amis plutôt que pour la communication scolaire. Les étudiants préfèrent les communications en personne en ce qui a trait aux communications scolaires et sociales et préfèrent apprendre par eux-mêmes, travailler de manière autonome et étudier à la maison.  \nIntroduction  \nWe live in a digital era that presents challenges for education systems but also offers new opportunities for teaching, learning and pedagogy (Battro & Fischer, 2012) . The digital era is a term that is ever more associated with digital technologies such as fast computers, multimedia environments, and devices that can process and present information in real time and at high  \nspeed (Eshet-Alkalai, 2004; Shepherd, 2004) . Digital technology means either: (a) digital information (text, images, audio, video, etc...) stored on a computer and other electronic device; or (b) digital devices such as a smartphone, laptop, camera, etc... (New Zealand Ministry of Education, 2015) .  \nThe growth in the use of digital technologies, especially the Internet, is having a significant impact on society and on many aspects of daily life (Acilar, 2011; Jelfs & Richardson, 2012) . The Internet has the potential to change the ways that people learn and communicate; it allows them to stay in touch with family and friends and, in many cases, extend their social networks; it permits easy access to a vast amount of information; it enables fast synchronous as well as asynchronous communication; and it offers a wide array of entertainment possibilities (Bargh & McKenna, 2004; Battro & Fischer, 2012; Jelfs & Richardson, 2012) .  \nIn most developed countries, teenagers use digital technology intensively, especially the Internet for school, work and leisure (Gallardo-Echenique, Marqués-Molías, Bullen & Strijbos, 2015; Kolikant, 2010). These young people are arriving at universities and colleges having grown up in a world in which digital technology was central to their social lives, and in many cases, was used to support their studies (Jones & Healing, 2010; Simoneaux & Stroud, 2010) . However, the same cannot be said for many developing countries where access to digital technologies is much more limited (Acilar, 2011; Hilbert, 2011; Miah & Omar, 2012) .  \nHigher education institutions are attempting to harness the potential of digital technologies to enhance and transform education (Battro & Fischer, 2012) . For example, most universities and colleges use learning management systems and web-based applications to deliver both the curriculum and student support (Hawkins & Rudy, 2008; Browne et al., 2010; Jelfs & Richardson, 2012).“Students arrive at university already schooled in a variety of practices related to learning and t","cbCaidZrULnds2JQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidZrULnds2JQ","pdf",614685,21,"English","# Introduction\n## Study Habits and Student Communication\n## (Research focus: ICTs and communication mediated by the Internet)","[{\"question\":\"What study habits and communication patterns does the paper examine?\",\"answer\":\"The paper examines how first-year university students develop study habits and how they communicate with classmates and professors while using digital technologies.\"},{\"question\":\"How do students use social media according to the paper?\",\"answer\":\"Most students use social media primarily to connect and interact with friends, rather than for academic communication.\"},{\"question\":\"What communication and learning preferences do students show?\",\"answer\":\"Students prefer face-to-face communication for both academic/school and social communication, and they prefer to learn independently, work autonomously, and study at home.\"}]","Student Communication and Study Habits of First-year University Students in the Digital Era | PDF",1792085816,53]
