How can I develop my digital skills?

The Essential Digital Skill Programme will cover:

• How to use the required IT systems to support your academic development and gain confidence in their use
• How to be a good digital citizen
• How to develop a positive digital identity
• Popular digital skills required by employers

The Digital Skills Programme will be delivered during Semester 1 and 2. You’ll spend no more than 2 hours per week during term time engaging with this programme, which can be completed in around 30 hours.

You’ll be able to access the programme, once you’ve log into KEATS.

You will receive a Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR) accreditation upon completion of the programme and the relevant assessments.
 The HEAR accreditation will be added to your transcript so that prospective employers know that you completed the Essential Digital Skills Programme.

Other ways you can develop your digital skills at King’s include:

• Booking a 1-2-1 online academic skills session with one of our Academic Skills Tutors, who can offer support with academic writing, planning, time management, tips on learning online and more.

• Familiarising yourself with the full range of strategies and activities on the Revision and Exams section of King's Academic Skills for Learning (KASL) page on KEATS. 

•  Taking a look at the TeachLearnTech Student Site for more guidance on uploading assignments online throughout the academic year
