CELT Workshop: From culture shock to digital shock: preparing international students for an unfamiliar digital environment.

With 680,000 international students studying in UK HE, arriving from over 200 countries and territories, how well do we understand their digital border crossings and how does digital shock impact their learning? These questions are at the centre of JISC’s research into international students’ digital experience [https://www.jisc.ac.uk/reports/international-students-digital-experience-phase-two-experiences-and-expectations].

In this workshop, you will hear from the 2,000+ international students who participated in a cross-institutional survey and focus groups, gain insights into what participating institutions have subsequently done to smooth their students’ digital border crossings, and engage with Jisc’s recommendations, considering these within the context of your own international student cohort.
