Technical Requirements

MyBeckett is the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) where you access and study your course materials. We have provided a summary of technical recommendations below, but you can find further information on the supplier’s website.

Your learning content consists of media-rich webpages, audiovisual content and files to download. We would normally recommend a minimum internet speed of 5Mbps or more for a reasonable user experience.

You can check your internet speed using PC Pitstop. Select the London option to see how quickly you are connected to our servers in the UK.

Your learning content is accessible through mobile devices but is not designed specifically for mobile learning.

The Library provide information about the MyBeckett mobile app that you can use to view your MyBeckett module content.

Leeds Beckett University works hard to ensure that, as far as possible, it is accessible to a wide a range of students. Nevertheless, we recognise that some students will require individual adjustments made to enable them to access our assessment, learning and teaching provision.

The University has a Disability, Dyslexia and Assessment Centre team where students can disclose their disability/impairment in confidence and discuss their reasonable adjustments with experienced Advisers who will then coordinate the arrangements for the adjustments to be made and provide advice and guidance to both students and academic colleagues on the requirements.

Learn more about support available from the Disability Service.

The first time you log into a University system you will be asked to set up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).

After this, you will be prompted to use MFA every time you log in.

The Library provides detailed guidance on registering and setting this up.

It is recommended that you have two devices when setting up MFA.

Our Digital Learning team have a website which has lots of resources for technical support. See their guidance on Essential Browsers, Software and Plugins for more information.
