This is not a collection of essays in which the authors selected a topic from a list and wrote based on a template or strict series of guidelines. This is a collection of well-written and researched essays that fit the theme of the publication. As a result, there is both a large amount of information with some very specific research interests and topics. With that said, researchers of higher education and digital natives will almost certainly find some valuable information when perusing these pages.
