Enhancing the Digital Student Experience

This chapter discusses how universities and colleges are enhancing students’ digital experiences. Technology is changing at a fast pace and hence staff and students are required to continually develop their digital capabilities in order to fully realise the affordances of technology in supporting learning, teaching and assessment. Working in partnership with students to engage them fully in the development of the digital environment is critical so as to gather a better understanding of current and future needs in relation to the digital. A digital environment which not only supports the requirements students currently have, as well as meeting future needs, will ensure students have the necessary employability skills required to thrive in a digital economy.
