The ‘digital student’ project
What universities and colleges wanted
Consultations with Jisc stakeholders found:
› interest in the ‘digital student’ studies
› appetite to find out more locally, engage students in their own digital experience
› no existing instruments, surveys or qualityprocesses captured the digital experience
› organisations wanted something proven, easy to administer, credible, and actionable.
