=Remote Working: Audio and Visual Conferencing=
 
  
By now, we are all (mostly!) adjusting to remote working. Because we can no longer meet face to face, we are relying heavily on both audio and video conferencing tools to collaborate with our colleagues. In these times, it’s also nice in these times to hear a familiar voice and see a friendly face (and sometimes kids and cats, too).
+
== '''A Look Back: A Year of the GC Remote Worker Wiki''' ==
 +
Since May, 2020 the Shared Services Canada Technology Showcase team has been working in full pivot mode to deliver content relevant to GC technology users. Unable to deliver our planned in-person information sessions, we created the GC Worker Wiki to curate and share information available from across the GC.  Our focus? Remote working. As the GC workforce nationwide adapted quickly to remote working, there was much to learn.
  
In this post, we have gathered and shared the most recent and helpful information on how you can make the most of GC audio and video conferencing.  From etiquette to security to ways to find support – check out our post to see how we are helping you make the best of the virtual meeting tools available.  
+
A year later, our Remote Working wiki has had more than 5, 434 views. We have created and shared 14 different posts and each post is viewed an average of 120 times.
  
'''Etiquette and Best Practices:'''
+
Our very first post was on audio video conferencing back on May 6<sup>th</sup> – which offered tips to fully leverage audio and video conferencing tools. Essentially, audio and video conferencing was out path to re-creating the in person connections we were used to.  
  
Shared Services Canada (SSC) already had great tips and best practices prepared for using audio and visual tools for meetings and collaboration.
+
Flash forward 14 months and our last post focused on a deeper dive into using Teams and Microsoft 365. In fact, we did three posts on M365 alone!
Check out this handy printable guide which outlines etiquette and preparation tips for successful video conferences. [https://wiki.gccollab.ca/images/1/1c/VC_Etiquette_-_v1a.pdf Click Here]
 
  
'''Security Considerations for using Audio Visual conferences'''
+
Our most viewed post? Information Management last June. We all needed an important reminder about correctly storing and sharing our business information when working remotely.
  
Using video-teleconferencing software correctly goes further than good business etiquette. On April 14th, the Canadian Security Establishment (CSE) published an alert to video conferencing users:
+
Over the past 14 months we have covered topics from mental health, to team building to highlighting the best of GC social media. We have partnered with Communities of Practice – the M365 CoP and the GC Flex group and worked closely with the Canada School of Public Service. We have shared tips and support mechanisms for learning a second language when working remotely. And we have covered the depth and breadth of SSC’s accessibility support and tools program; which has become even more important while we are away from the office.
“Care should be taken in the implementation and use of these to ensure that expected levels of integrity and confidentiality are maintained.
 
  
Media reports mention “Zoom Bombing” – which means some video conferencing tools can be vulnerable to third-party infiltration or high jacking which disrupts business to even compromises computer systems. They CSE alert also addresses how link and file sharing in VTC applications may lead to risks similar to those present when opening links or files from emails.
+
If you have not yet read through these posts, take a look back and learn something new to help you make the most of remote working.
  
Check out the [https://cyber.gc.ca/en/alerts/considerations-when-using-video-teleconference-products-and-services CSE Alert].
+
As the Technology Showcase team moves forward, we will be developing new wiki and other ideas to continue to bring you the best of SSC and GC supports for today’s digital worker, both virtually and eventually, in person. We are currently developing a Virtual InfoSession, product videos, and an interview series.
  
Want to learn more about the security features of the audio and video conferencing tools you use?  Here is a list of some of the VTC tools approved for use in the GC.

GC Remote Worker Banner English.png

Welcome to GC Remote Working

This new forum was created by experts at Shared Services Canada in an effort to help GC workers newly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic who find themselves working remotely.

This is an unprecedented situation; and one which is continually evolving. Remote workers need easy access to the latest information on the available tools and solutions as well as tips, best practices and updates.

Our aim with GC Remote Working is to gather the relevant remote working information in one place. We are only getting started. Our content is based on available information from all corners of the Government of Canada.

We plan to dive into topics such as security, information and document management, making “smart” use of your smart phone, using alternative tools and an introduction to Microsoft Office 365 and Teams.

Bookmark this page and check back often for more content as the situation evolves.

If you have tips and trick you would like to share, please send us an e-mail.

A Look Back: A Year of the GC Remote Worker Wiki

Since May, 2020 the Shared Services Canada Technology Showcase team has been working in full pivot mode to deliver content relevant to GC technology users. Unable to deliver our planned in-person information sessions, we created the GC Worker Wiki to curate and share information available from across the GC.  Our focus? Remote working. As the GC workforce nationwide adapted quickly to remote working, there was much to learn.

A year later, our Remote Working wiki has had more than 5, 434 views. We have created and shared 14 different posts and each post is viewed an average of 120 times.

Our very first post was on audio video conferencing back on May 6th – which offered tips to fully leverage audio and video conferencing tools. Essentially, audio and video conferencing was out path to re-creating the in person connections we were used to.  

Flash forward 14 months and our last post focused on a deeper dive into using Teams and Microsoft 365. In fact, we did three posts on M365 alone!

Our most viewed post? Information Management last June. We all needed an important reminder about correctly storing and sharing our business information when working remotely.

Over the past 14 months we have covered topics from mental health, to team building to highlighting the best of GC social media. We have partnered with Communities of Practice – the M365 CoP and the GC Flex group and worked closely with the Canada School of Public Service. We have shared tips and support mechanisms for learning a second language when working remotely. And we have covered the depth and breadth of SSC’s accessibility support and tools program; which has become even more important while we are away from the office.

If you have not yet read through these posts, take a look back and learn something new to help you make the most of remote working.

As the Technology Showcase team moves forward, we will be developing new wiki and other ideas to continue to bring you the best of SSC and GC supports for today’s digital worker, both virtually and eventually, in person. We are currently developing a Virtual InfoSession, product videos, and an interview series.

We want to hear from you! We are always looking for new topics to cover. Reach out to share your ideas and suggestions by using  [email].
