Five Characteristics of Millennial Generation Learners
The millennial generation (also known as Generation Y, born between 1981 and 1996) has
distinct learning characteristics shaped by technology, globalization, and changing societal

1. Digitally Native and Technology-Dependent
Millennials grew up with the internet, smartphones, and social media, making them
highly tech-savvy.
They prefer digital learning tools such as videos, online courses, and interactive
media over traditional textbooks and lectures.
2. Desire for Active and Experiential Learning
They do not respond well to passive learning (e.g., long lectures) but prefer hands-on,
interactive, and collaborative experiences.
They thrive in group projects, problem-solving tasks, and real-world applications of
knowledge.
3. Need for Instant Feedback and Recognition
