Abstract
Am I the student of the future? After presenting at the 36th UKSG Annual Conference on ‘The Student-Information Relationship’, Joshua Harding gives an updated, honest opinion of his relationship with consuming information as a digital student. Throughout this article, he discusses personal viewpoints based on subjective experience. Joshua hopes that through his blue sky thinking and outsider’s perspective, he is able to provoke debate and inspiration amongst readers, to stimulate or challenge the current system and boundaries in which they may work. Joshua’s workflows, however, are more grounded and based on years of trial and error, analysis of apps, and reassessment. Through his experiences, he hopes to give an insight into how students of the future will use technology like the iPad; what they will expect, what problems they are likely to encounter and, finally, to suggest ways in which stakeholders can prepare and support this new wave of digital students.
