How to request a visitor link 

If you do not have a visitor link, please contact your tutor, or course team with the specific name of the mural you would like to access. 

Please note that course teams are responsible for generating and sharing visitor links to students. Digital Learning will not be able to supply visitor links to students.

Benefits of visitor access

As a visitor, interactions are more streamlined; the interface is less cluttered with fewer on-screen distractions, this contributes to a better user experience when working on activities.

Personal MURAL accounts

If you'd like to use MURAL independent of your studies, for your own personal use, you can still sign-up for a free account using a non-Falmouth.ac.uk email address.
