Professional and Organizational Development Network of Thailand Higher Education
4th Annual National Conference on Quality Learning for the "Net Generation"

At the present information age higher education has to accommodate students of the "Net Generation". Experiencing ICT through digital media and internet access at a very early age makes the "Net Generation" students differ from the university faculty members in terms of life styles, learning cultures, communication mode, etc. How can higher education leverage quality of teaching and learning to engage the present day students and enhance the spirit of learning in them?

The POD Network of Thailand Higher Education 4th Annual National Conference (ThaiPOD-NC2009) will provide a national forum devoted to the learning methods and learning technologies and other related areas that are developed to enhance quality learning for the "Net Generation" students.
