Digital Learners Prefer receiving information quickly from multiple multimedia sources. Prefer parallel processing and multitasking. Prefer processing pictures, sounds and video before text. Prefer random access to hyperlinked multimedia information. Prefer to interact/network simultaneously with many others. Prefer to learn “just-in-time.” Prefer instant gratification and instant rewards. Prefer learning that is relevant, instantly useful and fun.
