UK students are growing more satisfied with their online learning experiences, but more than half still do not agree that they are engaging or motivating enough, according to a survey.
Jisc’s annual digital experience insights survey polled more than 27,000 higher education students and found that 80 per cent of them rate the quality of online learning on their course as above average, an increase of 3 per cent compared with pre-pandemic.
The results of the survey show that hybrid learning is still a significant part of the university experience, with a quarter saying their taught classes take place both on campus and online, compared with 64 per cent who said classes take place mainly on campus and 10 per cent who say mainly online.
Fifty-three per cent of students say they prefer to be taught on campus while 36 per cent said they prefer hybrid teaching. Asked where they prefer to learn, 45 per cent say on the campus and 41 per cent say they want a mix. In last year’s survey a majority favoured the hybrid approach.
