Description
The parallel trends in higher education towards internationalisation and increasing dependence on ICTs (information and communication technologies) are contributing to the diversification of the student population and their learning needs. (1) In this dynamic educational environment learners encounter an array of educational and technological challenges, which may be heightened by differences in cultural and linguistic backgrounds. The following description of the online experience of a group of international students illustrates the complexity of learning--and the implications for information literacy education--in this context of diversity. This paper draws on my ongoing research project involving international students at an Australian university. (2) It presents their use of online information resources as an holistic experience that encompasses online behaviours (their actions) as well as affective and cognitive responses (their reactions), all of which may be influenced by cultural and linguistic attributes.
