Centre for Digital Habits

Integrated solutions for your whole institution

Tools that make it possible. Training that makes it easy. Impact assessment that makes it measurable.

Tools

Make it possible.

Give your students and staff access to powerful digital focus tools without compromising IT safety. Research-based, open-source tools, and a large vetted library.

Training

Make it easy.

Knowing which tool helps is different from setting it up. Our sessions give people the time and support to make the changes, in the formats institutions use.

Impact assessment

Make it count.

When people set things up by asking a chatbot, nobody can see what happened or whether the solution was safe. We make digital challenges and solutions visible.

The Facilitator Course

Two to three days, in person. Participants are usually counsellors, IT teams, or study skills advisers, and they leave ready to run live training sessions at their own institution.

What's included

Certification to run our workshops

From a 5-minute talk to a two-hour, hands-on workshop. Run unlimited live sessions for your students and staff, and give them access to our self-paced e-learning platform.

Access to the Digital Habits Hub

Booking, reminders, materials and promotion are automated. Anonymised before-and-after results feed your dashboards.

Extensive support

We run Help! Café, with hands-on technical support for all your students and staff. Facilitators get direct support from our team and a monthly call with other institutions.

Why train your own Digital Habits facilitators?

Act fast on local needs

With a certified facilitator on your team, you can run training exactly when it matters — e.g., in fresher’s week, or exam and deadline season.

Your own digital focus experts

Your facilitator becomes an ongoing, on-site resource for “Digital First Aid” — helping students and staff build healthier digital habits and positive community norms all year round.

Scale support without increasing headcount

The training sessions are designed to be easy to deliver, with automated admin evaluation and research-backed content ready to go.

Who can train as a facilitator?

  • Student services & counselling
  • Academic staff
  • Librarians
  • Student peer supporters
  • IT support teams
  • Or anyone else in your team that you know would be the right person

No technical background required. What matters most is being an effective communicator who connects well with your students and colleagues.
