1. Get your devices connected to the uni wifi (eduroam)
2. Get familiar with studentcentral (watch the video on the login page)

studentcentral
4. Make sure you know how to submit your assignments online (see
the Assessment link on your studentcentral modules for help)

document storage, a copy of Office, collaboration tools and more)
2. Use an electronic note taking tool (eg. OneNote, Evernote) so that
all of your notes are kept in one place and available from anywhere
