Abstract
Considering the evolutionary process of education and training from past to present, access to information is possible in many different ways such as written, visual, auditory, virtual, online, offline, one-to-one, or in classrooms regardless of age, place, and time. Within the scope of this study, a questionnaire was applied to undergraduate students who were studying at two different universities in Ankara and Izmir during 2018-2019 academic year by convenience sampling method. The survey data gathered from these universities were analyzed and compared to assess student awareness of new generation learning environments. According to the results of this survey, it is found that the undergraduate students had awareness about the new generation learning environments and that the awareness increases towards the upper grades. On the other hand, it is also found out that YouTube is the most preferred platform among the electronic learning resources.
