“…Similarly, most respondents in this study were young physiotherapy interns and physiotherapist cadre. This finding is similar to previous studies reporting that social media platforms attract more of younger populations known as digital natives and some older populations known as digital immigrants [ 18 , 19 ]. This could be attributed to the ability of the younger generation to easily adapt to any form of technology, especially information and communication technology (ICT).…”

Background The increasing demand for physical therapy services worldwide calls for innovations to be made to meet the challenges of service delivery. However, little is known about the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of digital physical therapy among Nigerian physiotherapists. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the level of KAP of digital physical therapy among physiotherapists in Nigeria. Methods This cross-sectional study purposively recruited 150 Nigerian physiotherapists. Copies of modified and validated questionnaires on the KAP of digital physical therapy from a previous study were sent to registered and licensed physiotherapists via electronic survey to assess the KAP of digital physical therapy. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. Alpha level was set at p < 0.05. Results The mean age of the respondents was 29.76 ± 6.95 years. Most participants (81.3%) have a knowledge level above average, while 18.7% have below average. Furthermore, most (76.0%) of the respondents had a positive attitude toward digital physical therapy. In addition, more than two-thirds, 69.3% uses digital physical therapy platforms for physical therapy practice. Knowledge, attitude, and practice were not significantly associated with sociodemographic characteristics (p > 0.05). Furthermore, there was no significant association between knowledge, attitude, and practice (p > 0.05). Conclusion Many Nigerian physiotherapists demonstrated adequate knowledge, positive attitude, and good practice of digital physical therapy. However, knowledge, attitude, and practice of digital physical therapy were not influenced by sociodemographic characteristics.

“…Additionally, using such tasks provides teachers and researchers the opportunity to better understanding students' speaking skills development and trace test-takers (Dhalhoub-Deville, 2001). Moreover, such tasks can be used effectively nearly at all levels of language learners because children are called as digital natives nowadays (Dingli, & Seychell, 2015). Some researchers discuss that using e-portfolios is an effective way to assess language learners' speaking skills development (Cepik & Yastibas, 2013).…”

As it is known formative assessment focuses on both the learning process and learner's performance. In this study digital formative assessment and traditional speaking tests were utilized comparatively to evaluate 52 upper-intermediate EFL learners' English language speaking skills. The study was designed as a mixed-method. The quantitative data were collected via achievement tests which had been administered both in traditional speaking tests and digital formative tests. The qualitative findings were collected with students' interviews which consisted of four open-ended questions. The results of the study showed that participants outperformed in digital formative tests in comparison to traditional speaking tests. Another significant finding of the study is that participants are satisfied with the digital formative assessments in terms of peer collaboration during tests, enriched test materials, and preparation time for the speaking test. Although they have positive views on digital formative assessment, participants are dissatisfied with it in terms of technical problems that they encountered during the administration of digital formative tests.

“…If the economic drive is to fill the void of 18-year-olds with older students, it has to be recognised that not all HE students are 'digital natives' and many may be migrants who are at varying stages of their immigration (Prensky 2001). Even those who might be considered as 'digital natives' may well understand and want to use technology differently from the ways that HEIs utilise it (Dingli and Seychell 2015). The concept of digital natives is heavily contested for its naivety, yet (Bayne and Ross 2011;Guo et al 2008) this again highlights the need for flexibility.…”

The Postdigital University: Do We Still Need Just a Little of That Human Touch?

An increasing body of literature considers the role of belonging and social connectivity in undergraduate student success. The core tenet of this research is that relationships are crucial to the development of a sense of belonging. However, within the Higher Education (HE) sector, our processes, and therefore how we interact with students, are becoming more and more automated. None more so than during the Covid-19 pandemic and the ‘new normal’ in HE. This paper considers how we, as a profession, might support each student’s developing sense of belonging within a sector that is shifting towards increased digitalisation. This is achieved through considering the political agenda that drives the creation of digital education and some of the assumptions that underpin the movement towards it. As a result, a theoretical platform is created to consider the areas where digitisation impacts on teaching staff, and on students, and how this relates to each student’s sense of belonging within HE. The inclusion of two case studies has provided the opportunity to answer two key questions: (1) What is important to students developing a personal sense of belonging in HE during their first few weeks in a university? (2) How can the differentiated human touch be provided by ‘third space’ professionals both in person and virtually?
