Adventures in Corporate Education

I know they probably don’t read my blog, but I have to put it out there that I love our ops guys! I asked for some equipment, and had it the next day. Sweet!

I also have a much deeper love now for our video production guys. I am building camtasia videos for my school project – and I am finding that it is not so easy to:

1. PUBLISH THEM! and
2. Make them look professional.

I am so grateful that for work, all I have to do is produce the raw content and and our media team works their magic and I have beautiful, professional presentations.

I saw an internal training session that my team didn’t publish, and we probably should have. I mean the info is all there, but it’s hard to hear in many places, and there are long silent spots with no way to fast forward.

Yesterday at the Social Media Breakfast in Boston one of the speakers commented that sure many of these new ways to share content are free, but there is still a cost. There is a huge time cost, and there is a cost to your brand if you throw something out there that is not professional.

I think it’s the same with education – sure anyone can throw some videos and how-tos up there, but how long will that ad hoc “stuff” engage the learner?

At any rate, yay to our ops team and our video production team! You guys are so awesome!
