1. General features of the Go Digi online platform

a) Different sections of Go Digi - The Go Digi online platform uses colour to help you know where you are;

• Orange is for Learner areas
• Yellow is for Mentors areas
• Teal is for Network Partners areas

Dark pink/purple and dark purple are also used throughout the site as a way of categorising more general Go Digi pages that are relevant to everyone.

 

b) The Go Digi Help Bar - This is the Go Digi Help Bar. It is always around to help you out with the following;

• Going to the Help Centre
• Printing the page you are viewing
• Emailing the page you are viewing to someone else
• Sharing the page you are viewing on the social media of your choice
• Return to the top of the page you are viewing from wherever you are on the page
   

 

If your device's screen or browser window gets below a certain size, the Go Digi Help Bar will collapse and be available at the top of the page and will look like this;

 

 

 

c) Go Digi buttons - From time to time you'll see buttons that look like this. This means you can click on the button and it will take you to another place on the web. This might be to another page on the Go Digi online platform or it could be to another website altogether.

 

d) Different items within a text field - Sometimes you might see;

• Links - these words that are a darker color with bolded text, which become underlined when you hover the cursor over them
• Glossary terms - words that are a darker green colour with a dotted underline

 

 

If you click on either of these items you will be taken to a different web page with more details.

How to read a learning guide page

Go Digi learning guides have been designed to be easy to read. The first part of the learning guide is the title, the level of difficulty, the minutes it takes to read and the average rating given by other Go Digi users. Every guide also features what you will need to follow the guide. Most guides just require a device connected to the internet or an email address. However, some guides need more like the example below.  

 

 

 

The next part of the guide is the introduction and main body of the learning guide. If there are many sections in the body of the guide there will be arrows you can click on to collapse and contract content within the guide. 

 

 

 

 

Go Digi learning guides sometimes feature handy tips too. They will look like this;

 

 

 

 

The bottom section of guide features a summary, popular websites relevant to the topic, the topics which the guide has been tagged with (tagging is another way to categorise content), and if there are any related guides they will be at the bottom of the guide.

 

 

 

 

Every guide also has an opportunity for users of the Go Digi online platform to give us feedback and rate the guide on its usefulness. All feedback is anonymous and helps us to improve the Go Digi online platform.
