Hello Again from Centennial, CO<\/p>\n
Thursday evening\u00a0 \u2013 November 5, 2020\u00a0\u00a0 (First post of this travelogue)<\/p>\n
Well, I am back at NTT for four days this week.\u00a0 I am producing a live on line (LOL) four day OSHA class.\u00a0 This is a really interesting class for a lot of reasons.\u00a0 First of all, all of the students are NTT personnel.\u00a0 It is called an OSHA 30 hour class.\u00a0 It is strictly regulated by OSHA and the attendees receive an OSHA certification card at the end of the class.\u00a0 Because it is strictly regulated, that adds yet another level of complexity to the producer activities<\/p>\n
In addition to being an interesting class for the reasons listed above, it is also interesting from a content standpoint.\u00a0 Lots of good information to digest.\u00a0 It is also good from the standpoint of learning LOL presentation techniques for my benefit (assuming we ever sell a LOL class that I can teach).\u00a0 Lastly, it is great to experience other instructor techniques.<\/p>\n
As I mentioned in the last post, there are a lot of hardware and software details that almost boggle the mind.\u00a0 The most demanding part of the assignment is getting three monitors set up with several software platforms, then set up proper window views of all the software on those monitors depending on what the instructor needs.\u00a0\u00a0 After that, the remote students must be logged in and any communication problems resolved.\u00a0 That whole process takes about two hours.\u00a0 For the rest of the class time, the producer monitors the software to make sure the students are using all the tools we use to teach the class.<\/p>\n
Again, from the last post:\u00a0 the producer position pays less than half the instructor rate, but it is still decent income and will fund my \u201ctoy\u201d budget, hopefully at level that will keep me active in the shop .\u00a0 In addition, it will not involve air travel and is less demanding than teaching.\u00a0 Also, as I mentioned in the last post, our sales for the classes I teach is really in the toilet right now.\u00a0 I think the producer assignments will be a good alternative income generator.<\/p>\n
That is all for this trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
