Data is expensive, so every megabyte counts. The good news is that you can finish a full course on your phone without spending much if you plan a little. Start by checking how big each lesson is before you press play.
Download at the office or at home, then study anywhere.

Download first, watch later
Save your lessons while you are on Wi-Fi at work, at a library or at a friend’s place. Then you can watch on the train, in a queue or during a power cut without touching your data bundle.
Keep your phone ready to learn
Turn off automatic app updates, clear old photos and keep a power bank close. A phone with free space and a full battery makes it much easier to finish a lesson in one sitting.

Helpful read for teachers. The tips on planning lessons and recording them at home are practical, and I will share this with my colleagues in Fourways.
