Information:
An instructional video catered towards learners on how to use the portal that will be available soon

To find the URL to access the Learner Portal, contact your Databridge administrator.

Once on the login page, input the Learner's email and password and click Login.

There are three main branches of the Learner Portal that will appear on screen with their corresponding icons:

My Details
Messages
My Timetable

Clicking on an icon will take you to that area of the portal.

Tip:
Each page of the Learner portal has the ability to convert text to speech, using this icon in the top right of each page. You can also change the colour scheme of the page, the size of the text, and other accessibility options by clicking this icon.

My Details Page

The homepage of the My Details area has seven different sections. Clicking on an icon for a section will take you to that part of the portal.

Page	Function
Personal Details	Displays the Learner's name, D.O.B, address, telephone number and profile photo if one has been selected. (Populated via the learner's record)
Internal Details	Displays any Staff Links assigned to the Learner. (Populated via the internal tab of a Learner's record)
My Goals	Displays any Long and Medium Term Goals assigned to the Learner
My Targets	Displays any Targets and objectives assigned to the Learner
My Incidental Learning	Displays any Incidental Learning recorded for the Learner
My Qualifications	Displays any Qualifications recorded for the Learner
Submit Work	Allows the user to attach a file of the work they are submitting, as well as to describe the work itself. All work submitted by Learners via the Learner Portal are accessible via the widget 'Student - Externally Submitted Evidence'.

Note:
You can limit what areas of the My Details page a Learner can access. To do this, from Databridge navigate to Administration > Policies > Learner Access Policies, where you will then be able to use the checkboxes to determine which areas of the My Details page appear on the Learner Portal.

Messages Page

The messages page will display all messages that the Learner has received in chronological order, displaying who sent the message and what date and time they sent it also.

To post a message onto a Learner's portal, use the Staff Messenger page on Databridge. Navigate to this via Staff > Messenger, where you will then be able to post messages to the Learner's portal.

My Timetable Page

The timetable page for a Learner portal will only display the timetable for the current week. Any subjects that have been assigned a symbol will appear in the relevant session slot on the timetable with their corresponding subject symbol. To learn more about adding symbols to subjects, you can read the short article 'Subjects', found in the Timetabling folder of the help site. If no subject symbol has been assigned, the timetable will show the profile photo of the session leader.

Information:
The timetable scale used for the Learner portal is dictated by the Timetable Scale field, found on the Internal tab of a Learner's record.

When the Learner clicks on a session in the timetable, it will open a new page with four different tabs, displaying information regarding the session:

Tab	Details displayed
Session Details	Displays the subject, date and time, location, session leader and session aims
Objectives	Displays the objectives of the session
Planning	Displays the learning activities and resources for the session. Also has an area labelled 'My Evaluation', where the Learner can record there own evaluation of the session. The textbox for the 'My Evaluation' area has this icon:which the Learner can use to convert speech to text. Learner Evaluations can be found on Databridge by viewing the relevant session and clicking on the Learner Details area.
People	Displays all Staff members assigned to the session
