Abstract

Digital Learning Technology has transformed the landscape of higher education from myriad perspectives, students and practitioners to the institutions and management in which they all claim a stake. From the early days of computers being used for administrative purposes to the current era of virtual classrooms and online learning, digital technology has revolutionised the way students access and engage with education. However, the impact of digital technology on Higher Education (HE) student mental health and well-being has received relatively less attention, compared to engagement levels amongst learners (Bond et al. 2020). The aims of this chapter are to examine the origins of digital technology in higher education, its present state, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the use of digital technology in higher education with a focus on its impact on student mental health and wellbeing. Ultimately, it aims to provide recommendations on how higher educational institutions could utilise digital technology to mitigate the negative impacts on students' mental health and wellbeing.
