You can also download this to assess your level of competency. We\u2019ve also included a diagram explaining digital technologies. You\u2019ll be able to zoom in on this and use it in your own portfolio or discussions with your colleagues to consider your understanding and use of digital technologies. Continuing your learning in this unit, you can explore the Online Learning Spectrum. This is important because developing a shared appreciation of the nuances of online learning will help you to plan better learning.
