This was an excellent course. The remote classroom setup made it feel like I was still in the classroom with the instructor. The technology worked out surprisingly well even though I was doing remote learning. -- Kathleen N. The instructor treated me as if I was in the classroom. -- Diane B. Well done. Excellent instructor, top facility. The remote learning setup worked very well. -- Steve N. I felt the distance learning was almost as effective as if the instructor was in the room. This technology was new to me, but the convenience of having the option to do it this way, and not have the class rescheduled was important. I would do it this way again. -- Pat T. Patty was a great instructor and the RCI experience was better than I thought it would be. Not having the presenter in the room allowed me to focus on the computer(s) without "being distracted" by the presenter! I would confidently recommend this format to my colleagues. -- Jody V. Video Commentary on Remote Classroom Instruction RCI is ConvenientThis student describes the convenience of stopping into work before class and avoiding long drive. It felt like instructor was there--could see white board and see instructor demos. See a student as filmed from their RCI classroom and the instructor's classroom as she explains how she avoided traffic and got a great training experience. This student was initially hesitant to take RCI course. During the class, she confessed that she actually liked it better than a traditional class. There were fewer distractions and she got more individualized attention. Student took Network Plus class and thought the facility and accommodations were first class. Network speed was great, no delays. He would take another RCI class anytime without hesitation. Two co-workers watched the instructor illustrate a concept on the whiteboard. Then they listened to the instructor’s follow up comments. A government worker was given the option of taking a class in a traditional or RCI format. His team elected to take the RCI course so they could evaluate the training method. His conclusion? He would take another RCI course if given the chance. Watch a student follow an instructor's demonstration. With the separate monitor for the instructor, the student can easily see the instructor's demonstration. With the clear audio conferencing she can listen to the directions as well. A hospital research education employee needed to take a Flash class so she could start created e-learning modules. Instead of traveling, she opted to take the class locally but through RCI. She had an “exceptional” instructor. In fact, the instructor was able to take over the student’s computer and get her out of trouble during a class lab. It always helps when you can put a face to a voice. Although RCI classes do not use video continuously throughout a training session, there are times when video is employed. One example is during the introductions on the first day of class. In addition, many instructors turn on the camera during transitions times in the class such as after lunch or a break. Two students listen and watch as instructor provides some additional background information related to the class. |
