Session 5: Platform Features &amp; Tools: Troubleshooting Technical Issues, Case Scenarios &amp; Best Practices


The objective of The Virtual Producer Program is to upskill individuals for highly effective virtual producer roles, to ensure the smooth and successful delivery of virtual events, and to enable individuals to use all the platform-tools and features available in their platform in the most efficient way to provide both technical and instructional support to participants and facilitators.

This session plans to cover:
<ul>
 	<li>Roles in the platform (Host, co-host, presenter, etc.)</li>
 	<li>Participant Panel</li>
 	<li>Feedback</li>
 	<li>Chat</li>
 	<li>Audio/Teleconference</li>
 	<li>Webcam</li>
 	<li>Recording</li>
</ul>
This program does not teach the functionality of a particular virtual classroom platform.

At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:
<ul>
 	<li>Define the roles and responsibilities of a producer</li>
 	<li>Identify the primary technical and instructional tasks required to support the facilitator</li>
 	<li>Maximize partnership between producer and facilitator</li>
 	<li>Produce a Virtual Event</li>
 	<li>Model best practices</li>
 	<li>Build technological knowledge around common platform features and tools</li>
 	<li>Troubleshoot common technical issues</li>
 	<li>Develop contingency and back-up plan when disaster strikes</li>
</ul>

How does an ELE Producer support my Zoom session?

As the support person on the delivery team, the Producer is an invaluable resource before, during, and after a virtual training event. He or she is there to support the facilitator, the participants, and technology.

The producer makes the session run smoothly, troubleshooting technical issues for anyone attending the session, loading polls, and even co-facilitating content (which helps change the dynamics with the new voice).

Here is a small list of tasks the Producer helps with:
<ul>
 	<li>Open and prepare the session design,</li>
 	<li>Load course materials, polls, and testing,</li>
 	<li>Set participant privileges,</li>
 	<li>Managing session options,</li>
 	<li>Demonstrate platform features to participants to perfect their ease of use,</li>

<blockquote>How does an ELE Producer support my Zoom session?

As the support person on the delivery team, the Producer is an invaluable resource before, during, and after a virtual training event. He or she is there to support the facilitator, the participants, and the technology.

The producer makes the session run smoothly, troubleshooting technical issues for anyone attending the session, loading polls, and even co-facilitating content (which helps change the dynamics with the new voice).

Here is a small list of tasks the Producer helps with:
<ul>
 	<li>Open and prepare the session design,</li>
 	<li>Load course materials, polls, and testing,</li>
 	<li>Set participant privileges,</li>
 	<li>Managing session options,</li>
 	<li>Demonstrate platform features to participants to perfect their ease of use,</li>
 	<li>Provide on-the-spot participant support and technical troubleshooting to keep the session running smoothly with fewer interruptions.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>

Session 1: Roles &amp; Responsibilities

The objective of The Virtual Producer Program is to upskill individuals for highly effective virtual producer roles, to ensure the smooth and successful delivery of virtual events, and to enable individuals to use all the platform-tools and features available in their platform in the most efficient way to provide both technical and instructional support to participants and facilitators.

This session plans to cover:
<ul>
 	<li>? Roles and responsibilities of a Producer</li>
 	<li>? Types of Producer Roles</li>
 	<li>? Common Producer Tasks</li>
 	<li>? Skills and competencies of a great Producer</li>
 	<li>? Differences between Producer/Facilitator Roles</li>
</ul>
This program does not teach the functionality of a particular virtual classroom platform.

At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:
<ul>
 	<li>Define the roles and responsibilities of a producer</li>
 	<li>Identify the primary technical and instructional tasks required to support the facilitator</li>
 	<li>Maximize partnership between producer and facilitator</li>
 	<li>Produce a Virtual Event</li>
 	<li>Model best practices</li>
 	<li>Build technological knowledge around common platform features and tools</li>

Douglas Dynamics

Many spent a lot of time this spring transitioning existing and new courses to virtual delivery. Although not always easy, a great experience taking ILT content and delivering it differently. Many of us surprised ourselves.

Jesse and Colin will share some of the lessons learned at Douglas Dynamics and we want to hear from today's participants.

What we will explore together

This is the Learning Leadership Summit is ELE's first full-day virtual exchange. Should we keep future formats as a full-day, 8-hour day, or chuck into multiple days?

Grant Thornton

As a learning venue we know today, what will the classroom evolve to or even radically migrate to by 2020? From butts-in-seats classroom-centric learning to mobile devices with immediate access to a global pool of SMEs &amp; Do-It-Yourself learning content? To complicate the mix even more: who are these new learners, who are they, and how do they approach their development? What do they expect from us, from their leaders and each other? And, how do they expect technology to be integrated into all of their learning? And what about imposed barriers, like compliance, budgeting, and other restrictions? How will these learners view these corporate realities?
This panel discussion will address how new learners will approach learning as they start to arrive in your organizations. The trickle of new generation employees will turn into a flood, and you better be ready. The way technology will need to support this generation of learners will be shared, as will current learning initiatives that are just beginning to uncover successful approaches to meeting learning needs. We’ll discuss what’s working, what’s not and provide insights into getting started as you position your learning organization to meet this emerging workforce's needs.

Accenture

For the past ten years, Accenture has successfully provided virtual classroom training to its diverse, global workforce of up to 180,000 employees. However, our business needs have changed dramatically over this period, and the demand for virtual classroom training has increased significantly.
In this session, Accenture will share how to work with the extensive data we have collected over the past ten years and applying what we have learned. We are re-evaluating our current virtual toolset, learner engagement strategies, and faculty interaction models. Our goal is to provide a more robust and varied virtual classroom experience that addresses our business objectives and meets our current global audience's needs. At this session, we will share our new virtual classroom strategy with you and why we feel we are poised for another decade of success!

Next Generation Virtual Classroom: Accenture Case Study

experiential learning

jim.goldsmith

Globalization has contributed significantly to its success; Accenture operates in 50 countries worldwide, 58% of its revenues come from outside the United States. Accenture’s strongest revenue growth comes from the BRIC countries. In the last three years, employee headcount has increased by almost 40% in emerging markets.
Functioning at peak efficiency in a globally integrated enterprise requires employees to be proficient in their standard common language: English. To be successful, employees need to understand complex business situations, work together efficiently, and communicate confidently and accurately. With a workforce spanning the globe, business at Accenture is often conducted virtually; without a common language, employees and teams can't collaborate, innovate, and serve customers effectively.

Early efforts to address this skills gap were local and fragmented, resulting in inconsistencies and cost inefficiencies. Accenture had multiple classroom providers for this critical skill area without uniform measurement, cost analysis, or benchmarking. Additionally, classroom training didn’t deliver an ongoing, long-term benefit, with just-in-time performance support, and could not scale to the organization's growing needs. Accenture needed a flexible solution to meet a broad spectrum of needs and could scale to address the tremendous growth projected in the very markets where English language skills are short supply.

Through a strong partnership between Accenture and GlobalEnglish at the strategic level and at the local level, the program has achieved great success. User survey results show that 82% of Accenture learners have used what they’ve learned from the service in their jobs. And participants like GlobalEnglish—91% of learners rate GlobalEnglish positively.

As a result of Accenture’s investment in the GlobalEnglish service, Accenture learners report saving an average of 2 hours per week because of their improved English skills, translating to $34 MM+ in annual productivity gains. Improved communication accuracy means less rework and waste; employees are also driving greater revenues through increased efficiency and an improved ability to meet customers’ needs. Further, key employees can now be considered in the succession-planning process, as future leaders are developing the English proficiency required to accept new responsibilities.
