The document discusses the concept of 'digital natives' and emphasizes the importance of context in technology use related to higher education. It highlights that merely knowing how to use technology does not equate to effective learning, and that institutions must manage student expectations regarding technology's role in education. Additionally, it notes that successful e-learning relies on understanding the context of technology application in the learning experience.
