Your digital capabilities are the skills, knowledge and understanding which help you live, learn and work in a digital society.
Whatever you're studying you'll need to learn how to work with digital technologies. You'll use digital tools throughout your studies to research, create work, organise your notes, collaborate with others and more.
To be a successful digital learner you will need to develop the skills and attitude to confidently adapt to new technologies and try out new digital tools. These digital capabilities will also serve you well beyond university, in both your personal and professional life.
