College Digital Systems – Help and Access
We live in a digital world and South Bank Colleges believe that ability to navigate this world safely and effectively is a key part of your education. Every year all vocational students are enrolled on one of three externally verified RARPA ( Recognising and Recording Progress and Achievement ) qualifications on Being a digital citizen, Digital employability and wellbeing and Digital Learning.
The main platforms used are Moodle, Teams, Office 365 and ProPortal though some classes use Padlet, Google Classrooms and many other online platforms. Individual teachers will instruct on those.
The platforms linked directly to your college records there are downloadable apps and to access some you must set up multifactor authentication.
Proportal is place for your information, targets, goals and attendance reporting. The weblink is proportal.lambeth.ac.uk and your login is your student ID number and current password.
Moodle is a key hub for some course and lots of other support resources as well as a central point where other online packages can be linked to. There is also a form there for requesting help if you are having issues outside the college. In addition the digital skills page contains support resources for all digital platforms and much more including ICT and study support. The weblink is moodle.lambeth.ac.uk and your login is your student ID number and current password.
