Putting learning in your hands
The University introduced handheld devices
into first-year classrooms in 2014, in a bid
to connect the young minds with the world
of e-knowledge they are growing into, and
transform their ability to contribute and
compete globally. You will use your handheld
device in a multitude of ways: to manage your
modules and timetables, review your module
learning guides, check your marks, access
e-books and other study and administrative
requirements. Providing information and
engagement, these devices will bring a new
and powerful immediacy, collaboration and
ease of access to studies.
Computer laboratories and
Wi-Fi hotspots
Various computer laboratories and easy access
to our Wi-Fi hotspots give students access to
educational software, the World Wide Web
and email.
