**8. Role of students in digital education**

Student's responsibilities in an online course frequently resemble those in a traditional classroom, despite some changes caused by the nature of the learning environment. These responsibilities include the following [3, 14, 21, 32]:

#### **8.1 Become acquainted with the course and course materials**

Students should familiarize themselves with the module of the course. A module will contain important information applicable to the course as a whole. In an online course, this module may also contain assignments to complete as an orientation to the course.

#### **8.2 Access to internet and computers**

It is the responsibility of the student to locate their internet connection. Modern educational institutions give students specialized spaces where they can find computers with Internet connectivity.

#### **8.3 Purchase the required course materials**

For a digital class, teachers will choose books, websites, software, and other resources that are readily accessible to students. In most cases, the course curriculum contains information about these materials, including details on how to get them.

#### **8.4 Attend class and participate in forums**

Even if it happens online, digital students still need to show up to class to receive lectures and communicate with their peers.

#### **8.5 Communicate with teachers and staffs**

Classroom communication helps both students and teachers by better comprehending the subject matter, methods, and procedures for the course. In an online course, communication is especially crucial.

#### **8.6 Abide by the guidelines and the online code of conduct for digital classrooms**

Students are responsible for adhering to all the standards and rules for online education established by the school administration. Even if classes are delivered online, students must maintain excellent ethics and appropriate behavior for an educational environment.

the students themselves to provide standard conducive learning environments while also protecting their interests [11]. Even in a digital context the students have to be guaranteed safety from any digital hazards. Applying instructional strategies that successfully confirm students' identities is the administrators' responsibility. The administration will introduce students to their online learning environment and explain how the course is organized within the learning management system, along with the learning objectives, expectations, and outcomes [27]. Effective communication is crucial, they must specify how and when students will communicate with and interact with the teacher, and students must receive frequent evaluations and comments from the administration on educational performances [24]. The administration has a duty to review all teacher curriculums and materials before they are sent to the students to ensure they uphold the standard and qualities of the institution [11].

A school administration applies various digital strategies to facilitate digital education. The following are a few examples of potential teaching strategies applied: holding online classes utilizing video displays, examining student writing samples from written assignments, routine communication with the student (through email, phone, and video), group projects, etc. A change in a student's behavior or academic performance, such as a sharp decline in performance, must be noticed by administrators because they have a responsibility to provide graduates who are equipped with the skillset to be productive in the twenty-first Century and have a positive impact on the fast transforming digital world [3].
