An online training module is available which is designed to help you identify and avoid potential information security hazards, whether you’re working in the office, on a mobile device or at home.
Five UK universities have created an online training module designed to help staff and PGRs understand the importance of good information management and to highlight the specific data security issues that arise in a university setting. The training is now being made available at UEA and will be rolled out via Blackboard to all staff and PGRs.
The training takes around 30 minutes to complete, with an extra 15 minute module available for staff and PGRs working with research data.
- You will receive an email announcing the availability of the course when it is rolled out to your department.
- To start the course, click on the link for the course given in the email, or go to the Academic tab in The Portal, and click on the link you’ll see listed under ‘My Modules’. There are two courses: the standard training module for all staff (including researchers) and the supplementary training module just for researchers.
- Once you’ve launched the course in Blackboard, click on the link in the top left corner ‘Information Security Training’.
- Click on ‘Information Security’.
- Click on ‘Begin’. The training course opens in a new window.
- Run through the course.
- At the end of the course, click the checkbox to indicate that you have completed the course.
