Digital Student Project» Phase 1 study reviewed students’ expectations and
experiences of the digital environment at university
» Desk study | review of institutional data | survey of institutional stakeholders | student focus groups
» Present consultation phase to inform final guidance to institutions and further actions by funders
» Parallel study in FE and Skills plus review of practice in secondary schools

Findings: expectations› Expectations of access and services high and rising:
● Free, ubiquitous, robust access to wifi● Able to use personal devices and services● VLE – organisation, time/task, content, consistency● Personal info (student dashboard) on personal device
› Demand for support with personal devices/services● … but ongoing demand for institutional provision too
› Demand for ICT skills training as and when required● … but most students don't want it timetabled/mandatory
› Wide variety of practices, capabilities, confidence levels

Findings: expectationsImplication: students will
punish universities that fail to meet their threshold digital expectations(but we don't know how much)

Findings: experiences› Highly dependent on previous experience, subject of
study, personal preferences and aspirations
› Not what was expected – unexpected is developmental
› Study habits with technology are hybrid – informal, peer supported + academic, formally acquired
› Critical moments with technology often formally taught: e-journals, data analysis, design, ref/project mngmt...
› Teaching staff skills are important
› Value perceived in retrospect
› Digital identity a key motivation and outcome7

Findings: experiencesImplication: students
whose experiences don't prepare them thrive in the digital society are being failed (but may not realise this until later)

Transactional vs transformational
Transactional Transformational
Accessing networksAccessing hardware and softwareAccessing general and course-related informationSigning on to university systemsBooking appointmentsSubmitting work, receiving grades
Sharing ideas, engaging in dialogueEncountering threshold conceptsDeveloping independent study habitsCollaborating on projectsProducing digital artefactsReflecting, reviewing, revisingSpecialist tools and practices: design, data analysis, e-journals, ref/project managemt, specialist tools
Expectations largely established in advance by transactions with other service providers
Expectations largely established during studies in dialogue with tutors and peers
