This report (132 page PDF) follows from an earlier report, and takes four digital challenges it identifies (access to technology; access to platforms, software, e-books and e-journals; cultural differences; digital skills) as a starting point (and, for that matter, as an ending point, as all these are identified as core elements of the staff and student experience). After a brisk executive summary, it offers some 48 recommendations which a fair-minded reading would say extrapolate beyond the actual findings described in the report. Things that stood out for me include the list of hard-to-access resources, which included the Adobe suite, learning platforms, MS Office, and Google Scholar. I also thought that, based on the box plot (figure 7), students' deficiencies in digital capabilities were overstated. And the ways asynchronous learners experienced learning very differently from the rest bears further investigation.
