Presented by Intelligent Education Partner combining those in the classroom with the remote attendees .
The CNet Remote Attendance learning experience is live and fully interactive with both the instructor and fellow attendees wherever they are in the world . We have built the capacity to deliver from 15 Smart Rooms , allowing us to deliver 15 different programs simultaneously in different time zones across the globe . We are still limiting the class sizes per Smart Room to preserve the high levels of personal interaction and quality of teaching that CNet customers enjoy .
Remodelled program content for Remote Attendance learners
It ’ s also important to note that we recognise that you cannot simply transfer content from a classroom-based program into a Remote Attendance one . That is why the CNet technical team work hard to remodel every program to further enrich the remote learning experience for all .
For example , with cable installation programs , practical demonstrations have been enhanced by exploiting on-board capabilities of the equipment being demonstrated . Multiple cameras are also utilised to ensure both the instructor and activity are clearly visible on learner ’ s screens , with optimal ‘ close up ’ capability to provide clear visibility of the smallest items such as the splice bridge on the fusion splicers and even the optical fibre itself .
For technician-level programs , the focus is now on functional online tools that can be used to evidence situational analysis , problem solving and decisionmaking . The use of virtual breakout rooms provides the opportunity for learners to undertake project meetings that would otherwise have to be achieved in a classroom environment .
For design-level programs , where previously design drawings were undertaken manually , they are now completed in digital format using innovative methods on standard software applications . Using these methods enables learners to produce high-quality plans and elevations that are accurately scaled and provide a true reflection of complex data centre or enterprise network designs .
Use of virtual breakout rooms features in all programs where group discussions , simulated meetings and collaboration are required . This provides the opportunity for smaller groups to engage , share ideas and determine collective outcomes .
Benefits for Remote Attendees :
• Save travel cost and time
• Save accommodation costs
• Save subsistence costs
• Environmentally friendly – a more sustainable and greener approach to learning
• Time zone flexible
• Learn in the comfort of your chosen environment
• Working from home friendly
How does it work ?
Smart rooms are fitted with the latest high-definition , bi-directional audio / visual communication and collaboration tools so all learners and the instructor can see and interact with each other in the usual way .
Remote attendees simply receive a link from CNet Training to download the necessary free software and login details for the CNet Training Learning Management System . Then , along with the items listed below , remote attendees have everything they need to enjoy the entire learning experience .
Remote attendees require :
• A laptop / PC with unrestricted Internet connectivity ( suggested > 4Mbps dedicated ) and the latest browser and suitable applications for reading PDFs and standard office documents
• A USB camera , microphone and separate speakers are recommended , or integrated camera , microphone and speakers
• Dual monitors are recommended as ideal to view an extended desktop and further enjoy the learning experience
Remote Attendance learner feedback
“ Remote Attendance was great . The instructor was just as available as if it was an in-person class and I feel I got the same learning experience I would have if I was there in person .”
“ I have never seen a system like this where I can see and interact with everyone attending the class .”
“ The Remote Attendance learning experience was very efficient and convenient . I didn ’ t lose any value by doing the program via Remote Attendance versus going into the classroom .”
“ This is the first time in a long while I ’ ve taken a class using the Remote Attendance capability . It ’ s a good way to network and share ideas as well as learn new methods from peers within our field .”
“ The program met and at times exceeded what I had expected . The teacher did an excellent job at engaging all the participants , called on us by name and by industry . I always felt included in the class discussions and in the breakout sessions . I was very pleased with the overall class .”
For those who haven ’ t experienced Remote Attendance , we have created demonstration sessions and urge our customers to attend a session to be reassured of the high-quality learning experience . ◊
IT ’ S A GOOD WAY TO NETWORK AND SHARE IDEAS AS WELL AS LEARN NEW METHODS FROM PEERS WITHIN OUR FIELD .
