Personalised Digital Learning Programme (PDLP): Device & Workflow Playbook

Study guideUpdated 26 Jan 2026
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.

For the school-hours smartphone/smartwatch rule starting January 2026, see: https://eclatinstitute.sg/blog/secondary-physics-tuition/MOE-Phone-Ban-2026-Secondary-Schools-Singapore

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.
