Software doesn't make mistakes

It’s built with them

What are the consequences of failing?Why didn’t you test?Learning is your agenda, not I.T’s. Why

should they help?

The concept is yours to understand. The nuts and bolts… They are someone else’s.

The site runs slowly

Where are you?

What time is it?What were you trying

to do?What else were you

doing at the same time?

Potential reasons

Bad connection at location

Peak time trafficOnly so much it can

handleYou shouldn't do too

much at once

“yeah it’s because they

are on the VPN on the network

from home”

“we exceeded

our maximum

bandwidth”

“The Citrix servers need

to be upgraded before we

can…”

Where is the slowdown“We have a

100MB connection to the internet”

Network - the thing that links computersFilter - only allow people

to see certain stuff at workProxy cache - we save the internet so it runs faster

Firewall - keep our computers safe from attack

Being in control isn't always about running the show. Sometimes it’s simply asking pertinent

questions.

I’m not mad at you… I just don’t get a lot of good news.

My progress didn’t save

What course was it?

Where were you?Did you get a warning

about the internet?What else were you

doing at the same time?Were you rushing through hoping it would end soon?

Potential reasons

The course has not been built correctlyThe internet where

they are is badIt was left sitting for a

long timeNot paying attention to

the slides

Penalise learners

Global question banks

Re-assess and compare knowledge gain/lossAdapt learning pathway

based on responses/scores

The learning isn’t relevant

Why are you asking them to do it?

What is the content? Did you review the

content?What are they expected to

do with the knowledge?

Did you tell them why?

Your learners are adults. Treat them like adults

Network - something that connects devices

Packet - a container, in technology it contains information

XAPI - means of sending/receiving packets
