What will I learn?

During this session, you will focus on something that matters to you. You will bring along a digital task or problem and with support, you will learn how to work through it step by step so you can feel more confident and capable using technology in your everyday life.

You will build practical skills by working on a real task, helping you to use your phone, tablet, or laptop more independently. You will also develop the confidence to try things for yourself and make progress with your own personal goals.

During this session, you will learn how to:

• identify a digital task or problem and take steps to solve it
• use your device more confidently to complete everyday activities
• apply simple digital skills to something relevant to your own needs
• build confidence and independence when using technology
• use digital devices safely and responsibly.

This Tailored Learning session is designed to support you to develop essential digital skills that promote confidence, independence and inclusion. By focusing on your own goals, you will gain skills that are meaningful and useful in your daily life, so you can feel more confident in your ability to tackle digital tasks and continue developing your skills beyond the session.
