Many of our students study on a phone between taxi rides, lunch breaks and evenings at home. Mobile learning has made study possible for people who cannot sit in a classroom in Midrand every week.
Still, a phone has limits. Small screens tire the eyes, and data costs add up quickly.
The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you. B.B. KingOur notes are light to download, so you can save them on Wi-Fi and read them offline later. Lerato Khumalo from Student Support can show you how to set this up.
Get the most from a small screen
Download your notes at home or at work on Wi-Fi. Use airplane mode while you read to avoid distractions, and keep a notebook next to you for quick summaries of each lesson.
Know when to use a laptop
Phones work well for reading and quizzes. For longer assignments, coding practice or design work, borrow a laptop or visit a library or internet cafe near you.
