Personalised Digital Learning Programme (PDLP): Device & Workflow Playbook
In one line
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.
Key points
- Verify model lists and DMA rules with your school because PDLP specifications differ across cohorts and are updated periodically.

| If you have... | Read this first |
| 1 second | PDLP works only when device, files, and screen habits are managed together. |
| 10 seconds | Check school model list, DMA rules, subsidy options, stylus support, SLS folders, cloud backup, cybersecurity, posture, sleep, and parent review routine. |
| 100 seconds | Treat the PLD as a school workflow tool, not just a laptop purchase, so notes, assignments, and safeguards stay consistent. |
| Concrete example | Create Subject / Term / Week folders before school starts so SLS downloads do not scatter across the device. |
| Best next step | Ask your school for the current PLD model, DMA settings, and purchase or subsidy timeline. |
