Technologies for Academic Success

This video lesson introduces why learning technologies are an enormous help for some students

By the end of the Distance Learning section of the course, parents and students will have learned about technologies in all of the areas below.

We highly recommend that parents familiarise themselves with all the technologies covered.

Exactly when students will use a particular technology depends on their age and individual school circumstances. Most technologies will not be relevant to students when they take this course.

Be aware that very few schools will teach students anything about learning technologies when they are relevant.

Students revert to familiar working methods when under pressure at school and will not consider using these learning technologies.

Informed parents will be critical in guiding students to use relevant technologies at appropriate times.
