Resource Formats

Question: Do I get hard copies?

Answer: No. The resources are sent as links, in pdf format, which encourages schools/centres to use the resources as e-textbooks. The idea is to minimise printing and embrace technology-enhanced learning. Many schools/centres are printing only for portfolio purposes and when the student may need extra practice. Resources are also being placed on students' memory keys so that they can work from the resource at home. At times like these, links are being shared with students, attached to emails or uploaded to online learning platforms.
