Keep ICT Secure
There is a need to ensure that the equipment you have remains secure from things such as theft, viruses and loss of data. There are lots of ways in which you or your organisation can help to minimise the risks. This resource highlights some of the things you can do and contains links to websites where you will find further information.
The resource is a Xerte learning object. It is fairly easy to find your way around a Xerte learning object, but for help navigating Xerte, click the help function within Xerte. Select the link below which will open up the learning object.
The resource was created as a Xerte learning object. It has in-built accessibility functions that allow you to change the background colour, font and font size. It will also work with screen readers.
Some organisations are considering moving away from the purchase of their own equipment, to looking at ways in which learners can bring and use their own laptops, iPODs and mobile phones for learning.
Many organisations create an Acceptable Use of ICT Policy, which covers not just the use of computers and the Internet but for staff also covers the transportation and care of equipment by staff and volunteers.
