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 computers

Filter - only allow people to see certain stuff at workProxy cache - we save the

computers safe from attack

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 correctly

The internet where they are is bad

It was left sitting for a long time

Not paying attention to the slides

Penalise learners

Global question banks

Re-assess and compare knowledge gain/loss

Adapt 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
