The document discusses challenges and opportunities for education in engaging with the current generation of students, known as the Net Generation. It notes that this generation spends more time online and using new technologies than previous generations. To effectively serve Net Gen students, educational institutions will need to blur boundaries between online and face-to-face learning, embrace new mobile technologies, leverage gaming and social networking, and use analytics to personalize education. Creating a sustainable learning environment requires vision, planning, fundraising and maintaining facilities and operations.
