Academia 2.0

This YouTube Video talks about how university professors can connect with 21st century students by embracing the use of technology. Kansas State University is providing a great service by opening a dialog about young learner and how they are shifting and different. My question is... are they fundamentally different? I remember sitting in class as an undergraduate listening to what I thought was irrelevant information. I was disengaged in many of my classes. The difference is that students today have an option. An option, to learn on their own through extensive online learning communities.
