the Digital Tattoo project prepares students for learning online in a number of ways: introducing students to a range of technologies that could be used for their learning, such as learning management systems, open educational resources, MOOCs and e-portfolios; explaining what’s involved in studying online or at a distance; setting out the opportunities and risks of social media; advice on how to protect their privacy; how to make the most of connecting, networking and online searching; how to prevent cyber-bullying; maintaining a professional online presence.
