Short Description

This qualitative study is a segment of a larger investigation about international students’ feelings of othering in online learning environments. 17 international students and 10 of their domestic counterparts were interviewed. It was found that different delivery modalities compensate for some drawbacks, while bringing new challenges that impact their learning and level of engagement. This paper compares international participants’ experiences in two learning settings, and specifically, observes the barriers of language, social norms, and trust.
