[Koha-devel] remote training on Koha & covid-19

[dcook at prosentient.com.au]

Sometimes we have to do remote training for geographical/financial reasons.

On our end, we just need to use software that allows us to share our screen and audio/audiovisual, so that we can demonstrate / lecture. 

Then on their end, they can use a computer lab, a meeting room w/ BYOD (bring your own device), or some combination like that so that they can follow along, participate, talk to each other, pose questions, etc. 

One thing to note is that participants seem to have less energy for remote training than in-person training, so we tend to only book half-day remote training sessions and just do more of them.

Obviously, it's also harder to monitor their progress, since you can't look over their shoulders and do as much one-on-one work. There might be software solutions to help with that. (Like muting the group but being able to share screens with only an individual, so you can see what they're seeing and comment on their particular situation.) But I don't have experience with that.

I think in-person training tends to be more effective (like in-person university classes really), but I think remote training is a useful substitute.

Hello all,

In France, we always move to the library for training. With the covid-19 we may have to do some remote training. Have you experimented remote training ? How does it go ? How do you organise the training ? Any hints ?

Thanks for anything shared, that will be helpful for us !
