SQA Digital Learning Guides
Wednesday, August 9, 2017 at 10:19AM SQA has developed a suite of Digital Learning Guides. The guides help people who don’t have the digital skills and confidence to carry out every day online activities. The guides are free to use. There is no log-in or registration required. Learners simply click on the guide of choice and work through it following the step-by-step visual and audio instructions.
The wide range of learning guides are designed in short segments, a demo followed by an interactive section. This way learners build skills and confidence by undertaking hands-on activity. They are particularly useful as support for volunteers, carers and other community workers who encourage people to explore and develop their digital skills.
SQA strive to keep the guides as relevant as possible. Thus, they welcome feedback through their online feedback form or by contacting Liz Sinclair.
