Audience

Born early 80's to mid-90's
Have lots of gadgets
Like to multi-task--absorbtion?
Like to control what, when, and how they learn
Non-tradtional learners
- Delayed enrollment
- Attend part-time
- Work full-time
- Have dependents
Like to learn by doing
Take technology for granted
- Playing with gizmos is second nature
- Frustrated by technology that tethers them to a specific location
  - Listen to a lecture at the gym--mix work and play
  - Could listen to or watch another instructor's lecture if it was more clear
Prefer video, audio, and interactive media
Smart but impatient--expect results immediately
- Want to learn as fast as possible with the least hassle
Like multimedia--text, video, audio--same as a lecture--see and listen to instructor; write on board--already multi-sensory
