Hi everyone,
I hope no-one was hit badly on April Fools day on Tuesday, while we touched on some anything but foolish Catalog Design ideas in our office hours. Thanks to all who shared their designs. Catch up HERE if you missed it.
The Second of our Virtual Round tables took place on March 27th with our great friends from Optum and Dale Carnegie sharing their approach to delivering live and virtual training at scale:
Some key topics covered include:
- Blended Learning Approach: Combined self-paced eLearning with required instructor-led training for EHR system access.
- Scalable Event Management: Used event course groups, reschedule features, and custom manager roles to handle thousands of sessions.
- Flexible Scheduling & Enrollment: Enabled self-service rescheduling, embedded join session links, and managed room splits dynamically to optimize learner experience.
- Operational Efficiency & Reporting: Leveraged event calendar, mass actions, and attendance tracking to balance trainer costs, forecast demand, and enhance reporting accuracy.
Head over to our Guided Assistance area to see what you missed!
Hosted Roundtable - yes its back and this time kindly hosted by Colorado School of Mines, in Denver, CO on April 8th. The focus will be on delivering personalized learning to increase revenue. Interested? Register HERE!
