UniSA Online OHSW & IM learning programs
OHSW & IM online learning programs have been developed as a learning tool for all University staff, including staff that have supervisory responsibilities. Consequently, supervisors and staff will be identified by each school, unit or research centre to complete particular courses.
All staff can now automatically login to the Online Learning (actual url https://my.unisa.edu.au/Public/SingleSignOn/GenerateURL.aspx?app=e3Learning ). Use your university username and your own personal password.
