Digital natives account for a substantial portion of the total
enrollment in higher education. This calls for significant
educational reforms because traditional education systems do
not cater to the needs and interests of digital natives. The most
effective way that both students and instructors can benefit from
this paradigm shift is to integrate technology that is appropriate
to the cognitive learning patterns of the digital natives into the
curriculum. This paper builds upon previous research in
technology/personality theory and specifically attempts to
provide examples of technology that will address the
instructional needs of digital natives. Further this paper provides
empirical evidence of the impact of technology integration on
the learning outcomes of digital natives. In this study, the
authors explored the impact of targeted technology on academic
performance in three businesses courses. Three functional
technologies were used by the authors to build engaging course
content, efficiently manage course content, and to interact with
digital native students. This study found that these technologies
can assist digital natives in the learning process and lead to
better academic performance.
