Did you know that your course already includes digital capabilities?

The library will work with you to map what already exists in your course, what can be made more visible, and whether anything is missing. 

We have created a survey tool aligned with the Digital Capabilities Framework which takes you through each different capability. You can work through the survey yourself, or contact us for help (see our email addresses above).
