Independent Learning Basic Training

In order to participate in your independent learning basic training, review the following:

1. Preparing for Training

In order to participate in your independent learning session, you must have:

• Remote Access Token – If you do not already have a security token to enable remote computer access, you will receive an email from AHS IT with instructions on how to configure this. If you have not received these instructions, please refer to the Remote Access page of this Manual.

• Citrix Workspace – Installation of this app allows you to access Connect Care through your home or non-AHS computer. For more information, refer to the Accessing Connect Care page of this Manual.

• Dual Monitors – We recommend you have access to two screens in order to get the most benefit from this session.

  • If you do not have dual monitors, we suggest you use your computer or laptop to connect to the Connect Care training environment plus an iPad or similar device to connect to the virtual session.

  • If you do not have an additional device, you may be able to successfully re-size the virtual session and Connect Care training environment windows to fit within one screen, but it is not ideal in terms of functionality.

4. Starting Your Training

This video combined with our Getting Started with Virtual Training Guide walks you through accessing the Connect Care training environment. Complete this work before you begin your independent learning to ensure you have access. If you have questions, email help.cmio@ahs.ca.

You can pause or rewind your independent learning session at any time.

• You will find the self-guided videos for your assigned role(s) in MyLearningLink under "Required Courses" > “Basic Training”.
