Digital connectivity is a phenomenon of the twenty-first century and while many have debated its impact on society, few have researched the relationship between the changes taking place and the actual impact on learning. Rethinking Learning in an Age of Digital Fluency examines what kind of impact an increasingly connected environment is having on learning and what kind of culture it is creating within learning settings.
Engaging with digital media and navigating through digital spaces are things that many young people appear to do with ease, although the tangible benefits of these activities are unclear. This book, therefore, will present an overview of current research and practice in the area of digital tethering, whilst examining how it could be used to harness new learning and engagement practices that are fit for the modern a ge. The book also addresses such questions as:

• Is being digitally tethered a new learning nexus?
• Are social networking sites spaces for co-production of knowledge and spaces of inclusive learning?
• Are students who are digitally tethered creating new learning maps and pedagogies?
• Does digital tethering enable students to use digital media to create new learning spaces?

This fascinating and at times controversial text engages with numerous aspects of digital learning amongst undergraduate students, including mobile learning, individual and collaborative learning, viral networking, self-publication and identity dissemination. It will be of enormous interest to researchers and students in education and educational psychology.
