In a new HEPI Policy Note, The Future of Digital Learning Resources: Students’ Expectations versus Reality (HEPI Policy Note 41) by Dr Laura Brassington, HEPI and Kortext present the findings of polling carried out by UCAS on student experiences of digitally enhanced learning.
Digital learning is not a new phenomenon, but its adoption by higher education institutions was accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. The shift towards digitisation brings both opportunities and challenges for higher education institutions as they seek to balance online and in-person teaching.
HEPI has partnered with Kortext, a digital content and student experience expert and creator of the Kortext Arcturus smart study platform, to ask students about the digital resources currently available to them at their institution, and their expectations of how things should be in the future. In the poll, conducted by UCAS, more than 2,000 undergraduates from across all cohorts were asked about their experiences and expectations.
