Skills
Every entry on MyDevelopmentHub must have at least one skill attached to it. When submitting content you will be shown a list of skills to choose from - if there is a skill that is not on the list and is central to the activity, event or resource, please include it in the 'Other' box. Wherever possible we avoid having too long a list of skills attached to an entry - it is better to focus on the most important skills.
Using filters to create restricted content
Activities and Events on MyDevelopmentHub can be restricted so it is only visible to particular students, for example undergraduate or postgraduate students only. You will be able to enter this information when submitting content - these restrictions are referred to as 'filters'.
