本文报道了第一阶段关于网络一代进入大学的研究情况。文章重点阐述了网络一代与协作和合作的关系，以及这种关系与技术过程而不是社会过程的联系方式。基于对五所大学一年级学生在不同学科和学科领域的调查，本文得出结论，我们应该谨慎对待关于网络一代学习者的说法。它表明，一刀切地处理代际变化的方法掩盖了学生之间微妙但重要的差异。它还表明，声称态度已经发生了阶段性变化，这会转移人们对可能与新一批学生之间确实发生的变化有关的选择种类的关注。
This paper reports on the first phase of research that investigates the Net generation entering university. The paper focuses on claims about the Net generation's relationship to collaboration and cooperation and the ways that this relationship is associated with technological rather than social processes. Based on a survey of first year students in five universities across a range of subjects and disciplinary areas, the paper concludes that we should be cautious about the claims that have been made about Net generation learners. It suggests that broad brush approaches to generational changes obscure the subtle but important differences between students. It also suggests that claims that there has been a step change in attitudes takes attention away from the kinds of choices that might be necessary in relation to variations that are indeed taking place amongst new cohorts of students.
