Student information consumption strategies: implications of the Google effect
@inproceedings{Yacci2012StudentIC, title={Student information consumption strategies: implications of the Google effect}, author={Michael Yacci and Evelyn P. Rozanski}, booktitle={iConference}, year={2012} }
Previous research in the area of distributed cognition within the educational process has revealed several new and emerging phenomena regarding student behavior. Students appear to be strategically discriminating in their learning strategies, taking the opportunity to offload learning when information is easily accessible and retrievable. This paper reviews several current research findings, and offers societal implications.
