Insights & Case Studies

# Getting Ready for Digital Learning

Digital learning works best when you know what is expected and have a simple plan for keeping up with your activities. A little preparation can help you begin with more confidence.

## Check what your programme needs

Read the programme information for device, software and connectivity requirements. A phone may be useful for some activities, while practical software work or longer assignments may require a computer.

## Confirm your access early

When your account is issued, sign in and check that you can see the expected programme. Ask for help before the first deadline if something is missing.

## Set aside regular learning time

Look at the schedule and plan when you will read, practise and complete activities. Leave time to ask questions rather than waiting until a submission is due.

## Read instructions before starting

Check the activity requirements, file format and deadline. If an instruction is unclear, contact your learning team through the programme’s support channel.

## Keep your work organised

Use clear filenames and keep your working documents in a place you can find again. After an online submission, check the available confirmation so you know whether it has been received.

## Protect your account

Keep your password private and sign out when using a shared device. Do not send your password to someone offering to help you access your course.

## Ask for support

You do not have to guess your way through an access or programme problem. Explain what you are trying to do and where you are stuck so the team can direct you appropriately.
