So what do Net Geners want from learning technology? Interactivity—whether it is with a computer, a professor, or a classmate. They want it; they crave it. Traditional lectures are not fulfilling the learning potential of typical students today. Distance education and online courses don't work well with Net Geners—the social component of learning is required. As technology in the classroom progresses, more and more students are going to demand it be included. This will pose challenges, though.

Second, students need to be able to use the technology.

However
with the emergence of new, social technologies (aka Web 2.0)
technologies we are now seeing a new phase of E-Learning, known as
E-Learning 2.0, which supports a more social and
collaborative approach to learning, so it is also known as
Social Learning.
