Others, such as the University of Sydney, the University of New South Wales and Queensland University of Technology are asking Chinese students to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2020\/feb\/03\/some-australian-universities-delay-semester-start-amid-coronavirus-crisis\">enrol later or defer<\/a>\u00a0while some are\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theage.com.au\/national\/victoria\/monash-uni-cancels-900-exams-disrupts-4000-students-to-counter-virus-20200130-p53w9u.html\">rescheduling summer exams<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Most universities haven\u2019t shifted their semester dates. They are telling students coming from China to self-isolate and not come to campus for 14 days. Others are offering\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theadvocate.com.au\/story\/6609618\/utas-reveals-1300-students-affected-by-new-coronavirus-travel-ban\/\">online courses <\/a>\u00a0specifically for students stuck in China.<\/p>\n<p>There are several ways responses to the coronavirus can impact international students \u2013\u00a0Chinese or otherwise<\/p>\n<h4><strong>1. Moving courses online isn\u2019t simple<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>All Australian universities can communicate with students, and provide access to course material, online. Many encourage instructor-student interchanges in virtual classrooms managed through learning management systems such as Canvas.<\/p>\n<p>While these are excellent resources for students in Australia, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeshighereducation.com\/news\/two-thirds-australias-chinese-students-stuck-home?utm_source=THE+Website+Users&amp;utm_campaign=38adc9426b-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2020_02_04_03_03_COPY_01&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_daa7e51487-38adc9426b-62302153\">157,000 international students still in China<\/a>\u00a0may not be able to access them. The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencemag.org\/news\/2017\/08\/science-suffers-china-s-internet-censors-plug-holes-great-firewall\">Great Firewall of China<\/a>\u00a0prevents Chinese access to popular global platforms such as Google and, increasingly, to virtual private networks (VPNs) which would be able to bypass the firewall.<\/p>\n<p>Online education in itself is a contested space. Previous research has shown online learning and flipped classrooms (where students do some online self-learning prior to later face-to-face classes) have\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/jolt.merlot.org\/Vol11no2\/Nguyen_0615.pdf\">mixed results<\/a>\u00a0both generally and in specific disciplines such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1111\/medu.13272\">medicine<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This is because designing online learning experiences is a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jite.org\/documents\/Vol15\/JITEv15ResearchP157-190Sun2138.pdf\">complex exercise<\/a>\u00a0that requires resources, thought and time. Given the short period academics have to build additional resources, it is a challenge for even the best academics to create a productive and effective online learning environment.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>2. Studying overseas is expensive<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The cost of studying in Australia is not cheap. Annually, an undergraduate international student\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.studyinaustralia.gov.au\/english\/live-in-australia\/living-costs\">may spend anywhere<\/a>\u00a0between A$20,000 to $45,000 for their degree. They will spend an estimated $9,150 to $18,600 for living expenses if they stay in Australia for 15 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>While institutions have concentrated their attention on Chinese international students, other international students are also victims of the coronavirus fallout. Delayed progress could mean many international students have to extend their stay in Australia. It\u2019s still unclear whether the government will help reimburse these expenses.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>3. The first few weeks are important for socialising<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The first few weeks are crucial in a student\u2019s journey and need to be spent on transition and socialisation.<\/p>\n<p>Our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/13676261.2014.992316\">research<\/a>\u00a0has found international students consider the friends they make in the host country to be their replacement family. Friends provide the support structures students feel they need while away from home.<\/p>\n<p>New international students\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/researchbank.rmit.edu.au\/view\/rmit:50187\">make friends with people<\/a>\u00a0at the beginning of their study journey in Australia. Often these friendships are with other international students who they meet at international student orientations organised by their respective institutions.<\/p>\n<p>New Chinese international students who are under quarantine will not be able to take part in such activities. Students living in institutional residential halls have support\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.anu.edu.au\/news\/all-news\/impact-of-new-restrictions-on-travel-to-and-from-china\">structures in place<\/a>, but what about students who have no one to check on them and to make sure they are alright?<\/p>\n<p>International students leave their families and support structures behind. The added uncertainty and fear around the virus is not a great way to begin the transition period. An isolation period could potentially exacerbate stress for students.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What universities should do to help<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>We are in unprecedented territory. It is heartening to see universities doing their best to help students in such uncertain times. But how we help international students after this health crisis is over is equally important.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s crucial universities provide academic advice and support to students feeling left behind in their courses. They must also strengthen services for distressed students affected directly or indirectly by the coronavirus outbreak.<\/p>\n<p>Universities and the government should provide support to the broader student cohort, including transitioning late international students to classes mid-semester. If not managed and communicated properly, this can impact on the socialisation and group-work aspects of courses.<\/p>\n<p>Universities also need to support their academic and student support staff. They are at the front line managing the fallout. They will still be dealing with the consequences of the crisis once the outbreak is well and truly over.<\/p>\n<p>The way forward should be based on respect and empathy. The way we respond to this crisis will not only have impact on our students, but will also reflect who we are as a nation.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bios:<\/strong> Catherine Gomes is an Associate Professor at RMIT University and Shanton Chang is an Associate Professor in Information Systems at the University of Melbourne<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2020 academic year is off to a rocky start.
