Beskrivning

The Digital Student: Challenges for Universities in a Post-Covid World and How to Address Them provides a thorough discussion of digital pedagogy, enabling readers to understand effective digital teaching methodologies, particularly post-Covid, to enhance online learning experiences and quality. The book discusses issues that have little coverage elsewhere, including the social dimension of online student life, the needs of neurodiverse students, those with mental health concerns and acknowledges that students differ in their level of awareness and competency of how to operate within the digital world. Insights into the impact of digital technologies on student well-being and mental health are discussed and ways that students can be supported are suggested. Online harms to students posed by digital environments are explored, together with cybersecurity and strategies to mitigate the risks. Guidance is provided on digital policy development and implementation. Strategies are suggested to help universities adapt to the evolving digital landscape. A self-assessment tool is provided enabling universities to benchmark their policies and activities against best practice in order to develop and enhance their digital operations

Discusses digital pedagogy and also draws on case studies using authentic student experience and empirical research into issues such as online harms and abuse, digital isolation, resilience, mental health and neurodivergence that have a far smaller body of knowledge
Presents practical insights and solutions for dealing with problems that students may encounter in the digital world
Includes a self-review tool enabling universities to benchmark their own policies, strategies and operations with best practice, which is applicable to any higher education institution in any location
Explores in detail the social dimension of online student life and the risks and harms that may arise, and highlights the role of universities, as stakeholders in student safeguarding and providers of education, advice and support around these challenges
