Governor Accounts available on Hwb

Schools can now create Hwb accounts for members of their governing body. This will give them access to the ‘Governors’ area of the school Hwb Learning Platform, and also an Office 365 account.

These tools will allow governing bodies across Wales to take advantage of the same collaboration and communication tools that teachers and learners have been enjoying through the Hwb platform. These included shared calendars, shared documents storage and the ability to collaborate on documents together, in real time, with Microsoft Office 365.

Governor accounts may only be created by a school’s Digital Champion and Hwb administrators.

All school Governors could have:

• a Hwb account (created by the school Digital Champion)
• a professional email address and 50 Gb mailbox
• Secure Hwbmail to Hwbmail email and further security controls available
• Personal OneDrive for file storage
• Access to secure shared areas as set up by the school
• Access to professional learning community Networks in the Hwb Community
• Areas like EAS have created online training resources in Hwb for their governors.
