Abstract
What Undergraduate Students from Tecnologicode Monterrey, State of Mexico Campus, Learn within Digital Environments
Highlights
It is always interesting to discover how the incursion of new technologies propitiates new forms of knowledge; it becomes seductive to identify the ways in which people begin to use the technologies and to explore the actions that will influence their daily lives
There is a large amount of literature related to learning (Illeris, 2007; Mayes & de Freitas, 2006), in the elaboration of this study, we focused on a theory related to e-learning (Haythornthwaite & Andrews, 2011), since it differs from previous theories and encompasses information related to digital media (DM) in digital environments
The following are the research questions that led the investigation: RQ1 Do women have a higher preference for learning subjects related to their school performance, while men show a preference for knowing about current national and international news? RQ2 Do Millennials originate routines of academic and professional work on the computer, while on mobile devices they consult and learn about topics that are related to their immediate social and cultural context? RQ3 Are women more likely than men to use social media to learn things related to their immediate social and cultural context?
Summary

Students seem to originate routines of academic and professional work on their computers, while the subjects they consult and learn on their mobile devices are related to their immediate social and cultural contexts.
