Tips on using HSeLanD
Choosing a programme
- Review the course catalogues section for details of programmes.
- Search through the catalogues to identify the programmes that are of interest.
IT equipment
- Check that the device you are using to access the online learning has all the software you need to run the programme. HSELanD has a checker that you can use to test out your device and check if your device has everything you need on it to run the programmes.
- Talk to your local IT department if you need new software or need to upgrade your web browser.
Plan your learning
- Plan out your online learning in the same way that you might plan out any classroom teaching. It’s good to get into a routine of accessing online learning. This will ensure that you complete your online learning and generate your certificate of completion.
- Pick a quiet place to learn and have headphones available.
- Give yourself time to learn. Pick a time in the day that allows you the time you need to take part and reflect on your learning.
Transfer of learning
- Whilst you are accessing the online learning, think of ways that you could apply your learning in practice and discuss this with colleagues and your line manager.
