You will receive a flash disk called a DIGIBAND. The digiband contains a simulation backup of the myUNISA environment of the module. The digiband allows you to work offline. This means you do not have to be online all the time to access your module material. However, you should only use the digiband when you cannot work directly from myUNISA.
