Supporting online students

Online students need more support, not less, than their on-campus counterparts

Moving to online learning isn’t easy for students, who are used to face-to-face contact. CEG Digital’s student experience team are experts in supporting online students and helping them access University services remotely. We share advice and resources to help you support students learning online.
