Data is expensive, and many of our students study on a phone. You can still finish a course without spending a fortune.
Download lessons at home, at work or at a library with free wifi, then watch them later offline. Choose the low quality video setting when you must use mobile data.
Plan your data like you plan your study time. ― Nadia Pillay, Student Support ManagerWrite your notes by hand, keep a list of questions, and send them to your lecturer in one message. Our support team can also tell you which courses are lightest on data.
Download before you study
Set aside one evening a week to download your next lessons on wifi. Save the PDF notes too. Then you can study during load shedding or on the taxi without using any data.
Use the tools you already have
Voice notes, screenshots and short text messages are cheap ways to ask for help. Send your lecturer one clear question at a time and keep the answers in a folder on your phone for revision.

I enjoyed this post. The tips on studying with little data were useful, and I shared them with my class at school.

Good article for teachers. The advice on moving lessons online is clear and easy to follow. I will try it with my Grade 9 learners.

Helpful read for students and lecturers alike. The points on mobile learning in our schools matched what I see every day. Well done.
