Part of The National Archives’ digital capacity building strategy, ‘Plugged In, Powered Up,’ the Novice to Know-How learning pathway aims to provide beginners with the skills required to develop and implement simple digital preservation workflows within their organisation.

It starts with a broad introduction to digital preservation issues and describes the measures we can take to address these. It then delves into potential workflows in more detail, examining the issues to consider, steps to take, and technological solutions that can deployed. An emphasis is placed on free, easy-to-use solutions, and includes a number of tool demos. Course content is provided as mix of video, text, and quizzes.

A new course on "Providing Access to Preserved Digital Content" will be available to those registering for the April 2021 intake onwards. The course will also be available as a stand-alone for those who completed the original learning pathway prior to April, and for those specifically interested in the topic of providing access but do not want to complete the full learning pathway.

How Access Will Work

  • On the 1st of the month learners will receive an email from the DPC’s Learning Management System, LITMOS, notifying them that their account has been created.

  • Learners will have until the 28th of month to complete the course.

  • Learner accounts will be deactivated on the 29th of the month (or late in the day on 28th February), so learners are encouraged to download their certificate of completion and any of the additional resources they wish to keep before this time.

  • Extensions will be granted depending on demand. New learners who have registered for the next month will have priority. Extensions will not be automatically granted, learners must submit a request to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Please note that if an extension is required, please do get in touch and do not re-register for another month. 

Registration

  • Development of the Novice to Know-How learning pathway was funded by The National Archives (UK), therefore learners from the UK Archive Sector will have priority access to the first 175 places on the course, until further notice.

  • DPC members will have priority access to an additional 115 places, with 3 spaces per member available in the first instance (additional staff members will be added to a waitlist).

  • Those outwith the UK Archive Sector and DPC membership can add their name to a waitlist for any remaining places that are available. These places will be granted on a first come, first served basis each month therefore unfortunately, we cannot guarantee a space for a particular month. 

  • The allocation of number of places will be reviewed on a six-monthly basis.

Registration will take place using the DPC’s Ticket Tailor service. To register, please use the correct link below.
