Q: What does Personalised Digital Learning Programme (PDLP): Device & Workflow Playbook cover?
A: Practical handbook for PDLP families: decode MOE's device policies, compare stylus-ready laptops, configure SLS/OneNote workflows.
TL;DR
Treat PDLP like an ecosystem: pick the right pen-enabled device, standardise SLS/OneNote filing, enforce cybersecurity hygiene, and keep ergonomic guardrails so digital workflows accelerate—not derail—learning.
Verify model lists and DMA rules with your school because PDLP specifications differ across cohorts and are updated periodically.

Status: MOE PLD/DMA policy guidance, CSA parent resources, and the health/ergonomics sources below checked 26 Jan 2026; school device models and DMA settings vary by cohort.

1 PDLP Policy Snapshot (2025–2026)
- Coverage: MOE has introduced Personal Learning Devices (PLDs) to support teaching and learning in schools. Confirm your child’s cohort rollout, device models, and refresh cycles with your school. (MOE PLD management)
- Device financing: Device financing/support differs by school. Confirm your school’s purchase flow and check MOE’s financial assistance overview if you need help. (MOE financial assistance)
- Usage: SLS (Student Learning Space) is the national platform for teaching and learning; check school circulars for how teachers will use it for assignments and feedback.
- Safeguards: MOE states all PLDs are installed with the Device Management Application (DMA), which blocks access to inappropriate content and regulates screen time; schools investigate suspected bypass attempts. Ask your school for its current DMA configuration. (
