General Discussions

Happy Wednesday, everyone!!!

I have a general feedback question for all! I conduct a monthly "training" on desktop computer applications that we use every day, primarily the Microsoft Office Suite of applications. Not a deep dive or anything super technical, just some basics and then tips and tricks to try and make the work day a bit more manageable.

Anywho, we are currently only offering it in-person because 1) I was gauging exactly how this would look and 2) it's a very free-form setting, exchanging questions and experiences. There's a lot of moving back and forth, and the general flow is just not linear, which works fine when its a small team or group, but I'm expecting this to grow quite big if we offer a hybrid learning session, because we have a lot of people who work remotely. The bit of struggle is exactly how to make this hybrid, or offer a virtual option.

Currently, we hold the in person meeting, then I send a follow up email to our organization summarizing what we went over, including providing a couple of relevant and basic LinkedIn Learning courses. Without spending a chunk of time trying to put together what would essentially be LinkedIn Learning videos, but not as good, what are your thoughts on ways to make this style of learning more accessible?

Thank you!!

Hi there!

I find its better to be all online or all in person, otherwise we struggle with rapport and dialogue. I hosted a few training sessions in person for computer applications and some people had trouble seeing and following along. I decided to host "open office hours" virtually and people could sign in as needed and had a lot of success.
