Many Studiepoort students do most of their studying on a phone. Some share one device with family, and many watch their data closely.
That is why our lessons load as light pages and notes can be saved for later reading.
Download your notes on Wi-Fi at campus or home, then read them offline on the taxi or train. Johan Botha, Computer Literacy TrainerTry short study blocks of twenty minutes. They fit between classes and still add up over a week.
Set up your phone for study
Turn off auto-play for video, switch on data saver mode and keep one folder for course notes. These three small steps can save a surprising amount of data each month.
Know when a laptop is better
Phones work well for reading and quizzes. Long essays and spreadsheets are easier on a bigger screen, so book a computer at the campus lab in Hatfield when you can.
