subject

description

This SpringerBriefs volume illustrates the potentials of digital learning opportunities in higher education for refugees with different educational, social, cultural, and linguistic backgrounds from various perspectives and based on research conducted in several countries. Global challenges for academic success that refugees face when seeking to enter higher education are outlined. One possibility to reduce the obstacles for refugees entering higher education is to offer digital learning platforms. A selection of international digital education platforms for refugees are presented, which are based on a variety of approaches to accommodate the needs of prospective refugee students. Based on findings from practical studies and research projects from several countries, the volume highlights the numerous challenges related to the successful integration of refugees into higher education. These challenges arise at both the individual and the institutional level. The contributions included in this volume also show how these challenges can be effectively met using digital teaching–learning platforms. The SpringerBriefs volume thus offers a comprehensive insight into the opportunities online-based learning platforms offer regarding the successful integration of refugees into higher education, but it also addresses the limitations of digital education. Overall, the research presented in this SpringerBriefs volume is relevant for political stakeholders, university practitioners in the field of migration research, university research, and online and digital learning researchers.
