‼️New publication‼️ “Understanding the early adjustment experiences of undergraduate distance education students in South Africa” Available #OpenAccess! #HEchat irrodl.org/index.php/irro…
In this paper, we explore this concept by examining the adjustment experiences of 1195 international distance learners at the Univerisity of South Africa and found their experiences varied from students studying “at home” @DrBartRienties @Prof_AGunter @ParvatiRaghuram
We felt that various technologies have created increasingly new internationalisation opportunities that allow students to stay “at home” while simultaneously learning through institutions, staff, and peers who are “abroad”
