Dear Student,

We are conducting a study, which investigates the understanding of digital capital and its potential for higher education, during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond: the case of three contact based universities in South Africa (SA). We kindly request your valued input when answering our questionnaire. The results or findings will be shared with you and can also be used in assisting academics and students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Your information will be kept confidential.  

For queries regarding the questionnaire please contact us at these emails:

The survey contains matrices which display better on a full size screen, so it is suggested you complete it on a desktop screen rather than on a mobile device. Where required, swipe the options to the left to view more choices.

We look forward to your response by 15th October 2021.

Thank you very much in advance for your participation.
