Join us for our monthly Open Office Hours! Each month, we offer several different sessions, including one in Spanish, covering a unique topic our clients have been asking about.
Our team comes with a pre-prepared topic ready to discuss, but we encourage you to turn on your microphones (and cameras if you're comfortable!) and participate throughout the session. We always have time to answer any questions or touch on anything noteworthy happening in your platform in the last month. And if we do not have time to answer your questions during the meeting, we will follow up with you via email.
Who is Open Office Hours for?
Open Office Hours are designed primarily for site administrators and instructors (that includes trainers, instructional designers, or training facilitators) -- in other words, those people who either manage the platform or build and teach courses. There is no prerequisite knowledge required, so even if you are brand new to our platform, you are welcome to attend.
What kinds of topics are discussed during Open Office Hours?
Past topics have included:
- Admin Best Practices: User Counts and Storage
- The Individualized Journey: Using Internal Triggers to Personalize the Path within a Course
- Content Evolution: Designing for Inclusion and Impact
For details, including specific dates, how to register to receive calendar invites, and links to view past recordings, sign up for Open LMS Academy and click to enroll yourself into the relevant Open Office Hours course you wish to attend based on the region or timezone that is most convenient for you.
Once you've enrolled in the appropriate course, you can click on the course right from the home page or go to My courses at the top left to see all courses you are enrolled in.
What will I find in the Open Office Hours course?
We have a dedicated course for each Open Office Hours session. Here are some common features you will find in each course:
General information and session sign-up
In the General announcements module, you will find general information about the sessions as well as a Session Calendar where you can sign up for future sessions. Once you've signed up, you will also receive a calendar invite to your email. If the session changes (for example, dates need to move or the topic is changed), you will automatically receive a new calendar invite with the updated information.
Suggestion Box
If you have suggestions for future topics to be covered, feel free to add them to our Suggestion Box! You can even upvote someone else's idea to show support and help us prioritize topics of interest!
