The LevUL Up Digital Skills Hub on Brightspace is your one-stop shop for building core digital skills, knowledge, and confidence.
To access our resources, you must first enrol in the Digital Skills Hub.
What is the Hub?
So much of life now happens digitally - studying, assignments, teaching, remote working, banking, shopping, booking concerts and holidays, job interviews, the list goes on.
As a UL student or staff member, the Hub supports you in a wide variety of contexts by providing opportunities to help you strengthen your digital skills and confidence, whether for coursework, teaching, general life, or your career. On the Hub, you'll find
- Common Framing. View a common framing of digital skills and competence informed by globally reputable frameworks.
- Self-assessments. Assess your digital skills and explore personalised development plans using the Discovery Tool.
- 'Digital Essentials' self-study resources. Explore self‑study resources on genAI, prompting, Excel, accessibility, video creation, communication, wellbeing and more.
- Live and recorded workshops. Take part in online and in‑person sessions to learn about Brightspace, genAI, and more. See our live workshop calendar below for details. Recordings of some are available on the Hub.
