Higher education leaders and those working in international strategic planning should integrate international strategies with digital transformation strategies, according to a recent report from Jisc.
The report seeks to highlight “alternative perspectives” and consider issues that might impact the digital experience of international students in the UK.
The not-for-profit organisation said the report aimed to summarise data relating to UK international student numbers and diversity trends and discuss various issues relating to international student digital experience, including potential language, cultural differences and associated digital ‘shocks’.
A key finding was that international students are likely to experience digital systems and tools differently from domestic students.
