This paper examines the impact of internet use on student performance. In this cross-sectional study, one hundred twenty survey responses were collected from plus two-level students from BirendranagarSurkhet. The respondents were selected from class 11 and 12 students randomly. Frequency of internet use, location of internet use, cooperation from teachers for internet learning and peer group influence on internet use for academic purpose has been analyzed with their academic performance.one sample t test was used to analyze the data. The finding concludes all these variables have positive impact if the student use internet for learning process. Similarly, the analysis shows that the student who used internet at home for learning purpose has found highest academic achievement.

Keeping Up: Digital Literacy Drop-In Sessions for Undergraduate StudentsErnesto Hernandez
Today’s undergraduates, especially underserved undergraduates, seem not to be digital natives in the sense of how the term was originally coined (Prensky, 2001). Research shows that today’s students may be be digital natives, but not digitally literate (ECDL, 2015). In response to the realization that there are digital natives that are not necessarily digitally literate, the Emerging Technologies Librarian, and the LMS Administrator / Instructional Technologist surveyed all students taking first year English about their technology uses, skills, and whether or not they would be interested in digital literacy training. Due to the high number of students interested in digital literacy drop in sessions, we planned sessions hosted by the library and instructional technology, to focus on several key areas of deficiency in critical areas of digital literacy that are needed to be successful as undergraduates, and in the professional world after.
Open educational resources: What are they and where do i find them?Amy Castillo
Presented at the Excellence in Teaching 2017 conference on February 10, 2017. Abstract: Have you ever considered using an open textbook in your class? How about open courses, quizzes, lab manuals, or other course materials? Open Educational Resources (OERs) are free and free to reuse resources or course materials that you can repurpose in your classes, including both written and multimedia content. There are OERs available for every subject matter and academic level. Tarleton librarians, Margie Maxfield Huth (Systems Librarian) and Amy Castillo (Periodicals & Electronic Resources Librarian) will discuss what OERs are, and how they can be used in the classroom. They will also show resources for identifying OERs that might be appropriate for use in your classes.

Open Educational Resources & Creative CommonsBenji Chan
Ever wondered if you should use the work of others in your own products? How do you attribute these resources? How can you share educational resources openly while protecting your rights? Find out more about Open Educational Resources and Creative Commons (CC) and a new way of using and sharing resources.
This presentation is delivered regularly with faculty at our institution to discuss the possibilities of open education and open educational resources. I keep this presentation up to date, so please feel free to use it to share open practices and open pedagogy!

Technostress and the student experiencedebbieholley1
Internal webinar to support new academic writers
Debbie Holley shares her and David Biggins work on learning design and student 'technostress' which challenges our assumptions about the online spaces students choose to learn - especially in regard to Virtual Learning Environments. What do they prefer and how can we help them? This talk will offers insights into accessing and interpreting data in ways that are more useful for academics, learning developers, and learning designers, and suggests ways in which we can effectively frame student support by putting the ‘real’ student experience at the centre of our practice.

Lack of attention in improving human resources to adapt with
the technology, particularly for young people as they are
assumed as techno-savvy users.
4. 1 background
PREVIOUS ACADEMIC STUDIES
• New definition of digital divide
• Majority of research conducted in well developed countries
• Limited studies in Indonesia. The existing ones focus on
adults, education/government staff and librarians.
5. 2 theoretical framework
ACTIVE AUDIENCE: Audience actively constructs meaning
as they interact with text. Expert user use a range of
strategic cognitive processes to select, organize, connect,
and evaluate what they read in online environment (Coiro
& Dobler, 2007)
INTERNET LITERACY: Related to how users could get
benefits from their online activities. This study employs the
categorization from van Deursen & van Dijk (2009) to
illustrate the range of internet literacy, as follow: (1)
operational internet skills (2) formal internet skills (3)
information internet skills (4) strategic internet skills.
6. 3 methodology
CONSIDERATIONS FOR PARTICIPATION
• Four university students from 4 different universities in
Greater Jakarta area to illustrate different demographic &
lifestyles
• 2 Female, 2 Male
METHOD: IN-DEPTH INTERVIEWS
7. 3 methodology
Informant 1 - RA, female, 20 y/o, SES B
• Final year student in a private university. Shows moderate
understanding on technical skills and very low level of
content-related skills.
• Mostly influenced by friends and not encouraged by parents
to use the internet. Lecturers did support but did not guide
the activities.
8. 3 methodology
Informant 2 - SK, female, 18 y/o, SES A
• 2nd year student in a private university. Shows high level on
technical skills and low level of content-related skills.
• Mostly influenced by friends (and online social networks)
and also encouraged by parents to use the internet.
Lecturers did support but did not guide the activities.
9. 3 methodology
Informant 3 - DA, male, 21 y/o, SES A
• First year student in a private university. Shows high level of
understanding on technical skills and very low level of
content-related skills.
• Mostly influenced by friends and not encouraged by parents
to use the internet. Lecturers supported but did not guide
the activities.
10. 3 methodology
Informant 4 - CN, male, 20 y/o, SES B
• Second year student in a state university. Shows moderate
understanding on technical skills and also moderate level of
content-related skills.
• Mostly influenced by friends and not encouraged by parents
to use the internet. Lecturers did support but did not guide
the activities.
11. 4 findings
Internet Skills
• The findings show that all informants possess moderate to
advanced level of technical skills. However, if it is compared to
content-related skills, all informant demonstrate lower level of
capabilities, for instance: judging quality of the resources.
• One of the informants argued that all contents in the internet
must be truthful and thus, can be used as academic resources.
• Another informant stated that Wikipedia is the only ‘academic
resources he is aware of.
• All informants could not differentiate and not knowing what
academic resources mean.
12. 4 findings
Influence on Academic Lives
• All informants agree that internet has major contribution for
their academic lives, however, it is related on how it makes
them easier to complete tasks/assignments, but it is not
necessarily improving the quality of the assignments.
• All informants agree that internet made them easier to
cheat, particularly when they were on deadlines. The most
common way is copy and paste from Wikipedia/blogs.
13. 4 findings
Influencer
• All informants agree that peer-groups are the most
influential party in their online activities.
• Parents are also influential, particularly related to access to
the technology, as in providing PC/laptops and subscribed to
internet services at home
• Lecturers only contribute limited part to the online
behaviour
14. 5 summary
• Young people are indeed more familiar with the internet.
But, apparently, it does not mean that they could take
advantages from their online activities.
• In the context of education, supports from lecturers/adults
are needed to guide these students, particularly on
improving their content-related skills.
• In order to improve the skills, participation from education
institution are also needed.
• Language barrier is one of the issues that also needs
attention since most of the contents on the internet is in
English and other languages.
15. 6 future work
• Studies on internet literacy should be expanded into other
segments of society.
• Expand the criteria of informants to provide more insightful
findings as informants in this research are coming from similar
socio-economic status and geographic location.
