Digital Skills Induction

The Digital Essentials induction provides new students with the core digital skills you need to study at Cardiff Met. There’s also more IT information in your new student FAQs.

You will learn about the technologies and digital practices that enable you to undertake your studies when learning in person and when learning online.

The induction explores essential systems such as Moodle, email, our Wi-Fi, managing your documents and Microsoft Teams – the digital communication platform that will be central to your learning.

Here’s what you need to do:

  • Complete and pass the Digital Essentials induction e-lesson.
  • Attend and complete the Introduction to Teams and Managing Documents at Cardiff Met training sessions that build upon the induction e-lesson.

You can complete the Digital Essentials e-lesson any time – it should only take about 25 minutes. We suggest completing it before you arrive at Cardiff Met.

You can also sign up for the two training sessions. These will be held through a Microsoft Teams meeting in Welcome Week and during the first two weeks of term. Look out for more information in your Welcome emails.

Like all our courses, successful completion of the induction leads to the Digital Essentials Induction digital badge – proof of your skills you can easily share with employers.
