Jisc has released three briefing papers to help higher education in the UK better support international students, giving them equitable access to teaching and learning.
The papers are based on reports from Jisc’s international students' digital experience (ISDX) work, which underscore the integral role technology plays in the international student journey, and the need for a better understanding of international students' digital learning experiences.
Reports so far include student feedback about their digital experience and technical problems faced during studies. They describe the ‘digital shocks’ experienced by many international students coming to the UK, and how to address them.
The new briefing papers provide advice on three key themes:
- how to engage international students in sharing their experiences
- how to improve the international student digital experience
- how to better understand international students through the lens of Jisc's digital experience insights (DEI) survey data
