In today’s digital world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of skills we need just to get things done in our daily lives.

We created the Toolkit to help students and staff at the University of Aberdeen learn new digital skills, understand how to use University software, discover useful apps and explore University services.

Our Platform

We now have over 130 resources tailored just for you, and we've added lots of new resources for 2023/34. You can now browse by TypeCollection, or the A-Z listing. Or use our comprehensive and intelligent Search which is driven by extensive keyword meta-tagging.
