We are seeking participants for our study exploring the effects of COVID-19-necessitated online learning on Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Migrant and Refugee (CALDMR) background students and university staff.
Working as a collective under the RESIG, this study has been funded by the National Centre for Student Equity in Higher Education (NCSEHE). We hope to use information from this research to benefit CALDMR students, as well as university educators, equity practitioners and educational designers.
Specifically, we want to hear about the experiences of:
- CALDMR domestic or international students enrolled in a program of study in an Australian university; or
- Student-facing professional university staff, with at least 12 months’ experience working for a university in a student-facing role; or
- Academic teaching staff or senior university personnel with responsibility for teaching and learning, who have at least 12 months’ experience working for a university in a teaching-facing role.
Participation in the study involves completing an online survey, with the option to undertake a follow up interview.
