Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year

I’ve been a little pre-occupied the past few days – and promised myself an end of year hello to our our readers. I am sure Charles and Stephen are ensconced in their respective chairs or even beds and convey similar greetings of cheer. I’m listening to the delectable Eliane Ellias as I write this.

Do have a happy and safe holidays.

Repurposing training videos…

Commoncraft is a quite a famous resource for concise, direct and simplified training videos. For example, here is one on Cloud Computing.

In training and education, I find it’s more effective to strip away distractions from side issues and focus on the main topic of delivery. All well and good in the training environment. However, re-purposing such videos to other tasks like reconciling customer expectations, ah, it’s NOT such a good idea. Viewers see it as a negative. As a dumbing down. Guess Westpac has to live and learn.
