In the Aftermath of the Pandemic: Higher Education Students Rely on Technology to Write Their Thesis, Break Their Social Isolation and Find the Will to Persevere
Abstract
Around the world, confinement measures imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic have forced universities to shut down their campuses. Graduate students opted for online modalities to progress their academic writing projects, including theses and dissertations. In Canada, a non-profit organization named Thèsez-vous implemented innovative digital strategies to support students in times of crisis. This article presents qualitative results obtained from 33 PhD students who have used said tools to continue their studies. A follow-on discussion focuses on existing digital learning environments and considerations for subsequent research.
