Comparing International Students’ Information Behaviour Research in Global North and Global South
Research on international students’ information behaviour has significantly developed, mainly in the Global North and leaving the Global South underexplored. This review analyses 60 publications in five languages (English, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, and Indonesian) from four databases (Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar). This study identifies nine sub-topics within the research, with a predominant focus on the Global North. Se…
Inquiry-based learning patterns in large language model-driven learning environments
Inquiry-based learning (IBL) is a problem-driven and exploration-centred learning method. The emergence of large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT provides a new interactive environment for IBL. However, research has not sufficiently explored how students interact with LLMs for IBL. This study aimed to understand students’ behaviours interacting with LLM at different cognitive levels during the IBL process. We conducted an experiment on a da…
Charting the initial digital journeys of students in a new digital environment
Beyond sociocultural and academic adjustment, international students also need to navigate unfamiliar digital environments when moving to a new host country. Their adjustment to the new digital environment might impact other aspects of the transition. This study explores how international students in Indonesia navigate the new digital environment during their first six months. Unlike many studies set in the Global North, this research focuses on …
Exploring Barriers and Opportunities for Tertiary Education Providers to Deliver Sexual and Reproductive Health Education to International Students
Introduction To date, there have been little to no studies specifically focused on Australian tertiary education providers’ views on sexual and reproductive health (SRH) education for international students. This study investigated staff perspectives on barriers and opportunities for tertiary education institutions to deliver a comprehensive SRH education specific to international students. We complemented staff perspectives with international st…
Transient migrants and their multiple digital environments
This article serves as the introduction to our Special Issue ‘Transient Migrant and Information Behaviours’. How people source, consume and act on information have become of significant interest to researchers, industry professionals, policy-makers, NGOs and community groups alike. This is because we live in an information-saturated world that offers unlimited information to meet our needs both online and offline, thus making communicating with i…
Before the beginning
As transient migrants, international students draw on diverse online information sources. While existing research primarily focuses on the information behaviours of international students who have already moved to their host countries, less attention has been given to those in the preparatory phase. Further, less attention has been paid to the different experiences students have in seeking out information prior to departure. To address these gaps…
Comparing transient and non-travelling students’ health information-seeking behaviours during Covid-19
When transient migrants such as international students move to new countries, they are often confronted with new digital sources, digital environments and new communication norms. In the realm of health, this is even more complex and challenging because localized health information can often be the difference between well-supported individuals and those who might be isolated. The 2020–22 pandemic presented an opportunity to study the differences …
Why the Digitalization of International Education Matters
The overwhelming importance of the digitalization of international education stems from the migration of student activities from the physical to the digital campus, which has been taking place over the past three decades. Many new and exciting learning opportunities have become possible for staff and students in higher education institutions. However, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, online delivery became the sole mode of education …
Mapping the contours of digital journeys
International students’ capacity to undertake a digital journey to embrace new digital resources has real life implications in terms of their ability to adjust to their new environment. This article explores links between international students’ use of online social networking sites and their social networks, including drawing on digital resources beyond only those from their home country. Given the increased focus on online learning and engageme…
A qualitative study of international students’ sexual health information behaviours
There has been an increase in HIV diagnoses among Chinese men who have sex with men international students (CMISs) in Australia. However, there is not a lot of understanding about the sexual health information of this cohort of transient students. There are often assumptions of low sexual health literacy and other vulnerabilities made about this cohort, but the actual cultural and systemic barriers are not well understood. In particular, there is…
Saudi female students’ motivations to study in Australia
Many transient Saudi Arabian students arrive in Australia annually; more than 5000 new Saudi students enrolled in 2017 to join thousands of tertiary students already in Australia. This article specifically explores the motives of Saudi female international students (SFIS) for leaving Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) to study in Australia. Data were analysed and evaluated in terms of the ‘push–pull explanation’ of motivation. Salient push elements in…
Better pathways to success? – A study of foundation studies alumni
Foundation studies (or pathways) programmes (FSPs) seek to prepare international students for their transition into university by providing bridging courses to meet their academic, sociocultural and personal needs. The growth of such programmes over the previous decade has boomed to over 1000 English-medium providers worldwide and has been valued at $1.4 billion with no indication of slowing down. While these programmes serve an instrumental purp…
Military Insertables
Digital devices, once large enough to fill a room, are now small enough to be inserted into the human body. Even mobile devices have shrunk from large luggables, which were heavy and difficult to carry, to wearables that can effortlessly be worn on a person. A possible next step is insertables - digital devices that go in, through, or underneath the skin. We use the term insertables to specifically categorize devices that are voluntarily chosen, …
Towards insertables
As technology becomes smaller, the way we carry it has progressed from luggable, to wearable and now towards devices that reside inside the human body, or insertables. This trend is particularly observable in many medical devices, such as pacemakers that were once large stand-alone devices and are now completely inserted into the body. We are now seeing a similar trajectory with non-medical systems. While people once carried keys to open office d…

Identity and belonging
This article explores the ways in which Saudi female international students (SFIS) in Australia use social networking sites (SNS) to help them form social networks and present their online identity. Based on themes derived from five in-depth interviews, findings suggest that SFIS use SNS in a way that helps them foster a sense of belonging and connectivity regardless of their location. Currently SFIS use Facebook mainly to keep in touch with frie…
An empirical study of lecturers’ appropriation of social technologies for higher education
The use of Online Social Networking (OSN) educational activities has become commonplace in today’s higher education. OSN enables lecturers and students to generate and share content, interact, and collaborate in the knowledge construction process. The pedagogical benefits of social technologies have been widely discussed. However, less is known about the processes that lecturers follow when integrating social technologies into their teaching acti…
Evaluating quality in online asynchronous interactions between students and discussion facilitators
Online discussion forums have become an essential part of university courses, whether the course is conducted online, or face to face, or in mixed or blended mode. Discussion forums are considered to engage students better with the course content and encourage them to share and gain knowledge from each other. However, online engagement does not always happen automatically between students. Hence grading of discussion forum participation has been …
