Training & Education: Top Ten Ideas for Using KnowledgeVision

How might you tap into the power of KnowledgeVision to train or educate others? The sky’s the limit, but here’s a few of our favorite ideas, to start:

• Interview a busy subject matter expert: Ask an expert 6 important educational questions on camera that others wish they could ask this person.   Afterwards, create PowerPoints that “build” with key answer points.
• Videotape an existing live training session or lecture: Then sync with existing PowerPoint, handouts, and related links.

• Move parts of new employee orientation to KnowledgeVision: Showing up for weekly live orientation classes can be grueling for presenters.
• Build truly interactive computer training: Because KnowlegeVision lets you pull any live web page into the training environment, trainees can practice technology steps they’ve just been shown without opening a whole new window!  You can dish up a practice arearight in the context of your online training.
• Start and tape a brown bag lunch training series:.  Knit into a virtual “Brown Bag Series” on KnowledgeVision.
• Tape role plays for sales or customer service training: Accompanying PowerPoints can reinforce or provide a background commentary re: what is unfolding in each role play.

• Ask for on-the-spot feedback: A live feedback form window can be presented during the last few minutes of your KnowledgeVision training session, even as the trainer continues to speak.   No need to chase people down with feedback request emails later on!

• Tape training endorsements or stories which “sell” your learning content: For example, if fielding teamwork training – tape your CEO sharing a brief, personal story about the meaning of teamwork to him or to the business.   Before people learn – you often have to convince them to listen.
• Overcome geographic hurdles to sharing learning: Is your organization geographically dispersed?   To make your company’s world smaller, ask far-flung, important experts/ trainers to tape webcam versions of their best local presentations in KnowledgeVision for broader sharing.
• Create a Learning Forum: Solicit questions from new/ junior employees which company experts answer via webcam…then create playlists of related Q&As in KnowledgeVision.   Unlike with text-based Q&A, employees will feel they have “gotten to know” key players at your organization, providing a valuable advantage.
