There are certain process and practices in the use of technologies to support teaching, learning and assessment that you may only use a few times a year, and at broadly dispersed intervals. This can sometimes result in you not remembering the process and having to try and re-locate the ‘how to’ instructions on the DLaT hub.

Using the bookmark function in your web browser can be a good way to keep track of where these essential ‘how to’ guides are located, and provide you with instant access to them – without having to search for them every time in the DLaT hub.

To use bookmarks in Microsoft Edge

1. Navigate to the how to guide in the DLaT Hub that you want to bookmark. E.g. setting up a Turnitin submission link: https://celt.our.dmu.ac.uk/setting-up-a-turnitin-submission-link-for-grademark/

2. Click the Star icon in the top right of your screen
