The document summarizes the findings of the INDEx Survey, a national survey of digital experiences in higher education in Ireland that received responses from over 25,000 students and 4,000 staff members at 32 institutions. Some key findings were that students wanted more reliable WiFi, consistent use of virtual learning environments, and access to recorded lectures. The survey also found that only 25% of students reported having access to recorded lectures, while 29% of teaching staff said they had access to lecture capture tools. The full report of the survey findings was published in May 2020 on the website provided.
