Patty Ball's insight:

We are living in a digitally focused world that requires us to adopt new life styles that we , the digital immigrants, were not used to before. This excessive digitization of life has also brought about some new learning concepts and we start talking about digital self-learning  and digital peer-learning. Peeragogy is a project that embodies these notions and goes beyond them to empower you with the tools to delve deeper into a collaborative process of knowledge building and meaning making.

* Fewer teachers, but still a majority of this sample (60%), agree with the assertion that today's technologies make it harder for students to find credible sources of information.
