Learning & Working in Digital Environments

Like so many aspects of our lives, how we learn and how we work has changed through technology.  This section will help you to understand how to take advantage of online tools for learning and working.  Previously, in order to learn we may have had to attend classes in person but now we can learn in lots of different ways and at times that suit us better. When we talk about e-learning we are referring to learning electronically.  Digital tools also allow us to work in more flexible ways.
