Your online learning environment is My Dundee. This is where you find your course materials, reading lists, assessment information and other tools lecturers use to deliver your learning experience. Once you have your My Dundee login details, install and use the Blackboard app.

During Welcome, you will get access to a new Organisation in My Dundee with information on everything from navigating your module pages, how to research and write effective essays, and where to go for help.

Covid-19 – maintaining protection

While all pandemic restrictions have now been removed in Scotland, the virus has not gone away.
There remains a need to be vigilant and take sensible precautions to prevent the spread of the virus. This includes:

  • making sure you are up to date with your vaccinations
  • staying at home if you feel unwell and caring for yourself and others
  • maintaining good hand hygiene
  • wearing a face covering where appropriate
  • making sure indoor spaces are well ventilated

The latest advice can be found on the Scottish Government website.
