What is a digital learning module?
A digital learning module is an online, self‑paced training unit designed to provide clear, accessible learning on a specific topic through interactive content, scenarios, and knowledge‑checking activities. Our digital learning modules are built to support all levels of staff and learners, offering informative and engaging materials on priority areas such as information security, data protection, digital accessibility, copyright and emerging fields like AI. They can be delivered off‑the‑shelf or fully tailored to an organisation’s policies and context, ensuring relevance and consistency across staff training.
