“…Seemiller and Grace (2017) found that although Gen Z prefers independent learning, they prefer working in group too. This is supported by evidence that Gen Z likes collaboration and prefers conversation (Thacker, 2016;Desai & Lele, 2017). However, there are also contradicting findings which claim that Gen Z is the digital native who prefers using social media over direct contact with people (Rothman, 2016) and lack face-to-face communication skills, which result in socially disinterested behaviours (Turner, 2015).…”

Cooperative learning has long been introduced in classroom teaching due to its ability to capitalise on students' academic and social learning experiences. Having identified the different learning styles and needs of the current student who are the Generation Z (Gen Z) in our classroom, it is crucial to address the question of how applicable is cooperative learning in promoting interactive and effective learning for more rewarding learning experience. This action research attempts to understand the students' perceptions towards the three cooperative learning strategies they have experienced with the objective to identify the best strategy to enhance the students' learning experiences. The study population of this action research is the second and third year undergraduates of a compulsory subject. A descriptive research design using a structured questionnaire was used and cooperative learning was found to be an effective approach in enriching the learning experience among the Gen Z learners.

“…By 2020, new generation cohort steps into the business world and are called as Digital Natives (Rothman, 2016). These students are born in the Internet-connected world and ICT is part of their routine (Desai & Lele, 2017). Digital Natives are habituated to immediate and autonomous access to information, multitasking, nonlinear learning, and dynamic graphics (Brooks & Davis, 2018).…”

There has been increasing interest among researchers to understand the negative effects of technology, in the last two decades. Technostress or stress induced due to technology is extensively reported in the literature, among working professionals. Even though there has been an increased proliferation of digital devices in academia, there is a dearth of studies examining the prevalence of technostress and its impact among students. This study examines the prevalence of technostress among the younger population, in the age group of 18–28 years. Using a sample of 673 Indian private university students, this study cross-validated the technostress instrument. Increased use of technology in higher education has compelled students to complete all their academic work, including assessments, using technology. Technology-enhanced learning applications such as learning management systems, MOOCs and digital exam devices require students to develop ICT skills. The study also investigates the impact of technostress on the academic productivity of students. Findings reveal that the technostress instrument is valid to be used in the academic context, with minor modifications, and students experienced moderate levels of technostress. It was also found that technostress had a negative impact on the academic productivity of students.

Higher education is finding importance throughout the globe due to two reasons that include challenges to increase Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) towards 100% and the possibility of further HE system innovations due to drastic changes in technology and the creativity of new Tech-generations. In this paper, we made a detailed analysis of the effect of technology on industry and the creation of new tech generations in society. The predictive analysis methodology is used for discussing the effect of technologies on industries and its effects on the creation of new tech generations. Finally, the possible higher education strategies to fulfil the anticipated desires of the tech-generations in society are analysed. Based on the analysis a set of postulates are suggested to integrate technology with the higher education system to develop industry acceptable qualified professionals to serve satisfactorily in so-called Tech-society.
