4 Digital skills and university study
Digital skills are fundamental when it comes to studying at university, and universities strive to help their students to develop these skills. Being digitally competent and confident will save you time and help you to study in a more effective way.
Today’s online university libraries provide access to a wide range of resources – electronic journals and publications that you can download, advice on developing study skills, support material and online video and audio, to name just a few. If you are studying, it’s worth getting to know what online libraries offer. If your university doesn’t have an online library, there are plenty of online libraries where you can download resources such as Google Academic, Research Gate and others.
The digital skills you learn while you’re studying are the kind of skills that employers are expecting you to have when you apply for jobs. These skills will also make a difference to your everyday life, whether you’re looking for a holiday or connecting with people around the world.
Finally, the confidence you gain through developing your digital skills will also prepare you for future challenges in an ever-changing technological world.
