Some good tips - particularly introducing homeworking as a digital skill.
There's also scope to look at departmental and institutional policies around email. One of the key stresses of working on line is when you get to the end of the day and then have a day's worth of emails to respond to. Some of this can be managed by building in email time but institutions can also encourage good practice - like not copying everyone into everything or limiting the number of systems staff have to check regularly.
Some helpful information and ideas that can be shared with learners
I was sceptical at first about this module, but does contain some useful tips on having awareness of and creating mental and physical 'spaces' for work.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidance mentioned in this module is excellent for temporary homeworkers, follow this link:
