I can say that we are absolutely having this conversation at the k-12 level in the US. It is, in fact, at the center of many discussions right now, possibly to an extreme. What I also know is that higher education institutions tend to be behind the curve on cultural shifts in learning because they are even more entrenched in tradition and bureaucracy (and a pressure to produce research) than public elementary and secondary institutions are. Unfortunately you are right on about attention spans, especially in adolescence. Chasing cheap dopamine will be our undoing.
