  4. NetAppU and POE • NetApp University provides industry-leading technical training and certification. • Customers, partners, employees • Face-to-face, online, and virtual live training. • POE focuses on training internal engineers • The Brewery is the internal knowledgebase for all of Product Ops NetApp Confidential - Internal Use Only

  5. POE Video Tools • Studio in a box • Microphone • Laptop with software • Windows Media Encoder: For video recording • Camtasia Studio: For screencasting and editing • Zoom and pan • Animation and call-outs • Brainshark • Record audio over slides • Import demo videos NetApp Confidential - Internal Use Only

  6. Some Benefits of Video • Time and location flexibility: Asynchronous learningbenefits our international audience • Self-paced learning: pause, repeat, fast forward, and unlimited access. • Video supplements text: Learning is not one-size-fits all • Not everyone likes video; not everyone reads NetApp Confidential - Internal Use Only

  7. Some Benefits of Video (Cont’d) • Interactive elements: Embed quizzes, provide navigation (Zhang, Zhou, et al.), reinforce concepts • Metrics: Consumption, assessment, usability • Cost savings: Time and people resources. No travel for instructors. • Easily updated & maintained NetApp Confidential - Internal Use Only

  8. Project Planning: Collecting Business Requirements Excellent Resource: JoAnnHackos’ book onInformation Development & Project Management. • What is the business case? Goals? • Who are your stakeholders? • Who are the SMEs to be featured? • How will it be used/shared?(Web? Prereq for in-class learning?) • Will it be a demo or have a demo embedded? • Will there be assessment? • Is video the best method of delivery? NetApp Confidential - Internal Use Only

  9. Designing Your Presentation NCSU’s Jason Swarts & Matt Morain recognize that video offers many modes of communication. • Text, moving images, sound, etc. Each mode has its own affordances. When they’re complexly juxtaposed and interacting, how is this multimodal documentation assessed? They propose a framework for assessing instructional online video.

  10. The Morain / Swarts Rubric:Physical Design • AccessibilityVideo allows the view to focus on areas relevant to instruction. • ViewabilityProduction quality (audio, video, text) is sufficient to make content tolerably watchable. • TimingVideo is paced to make it easy for viewers to follow content.

  11. Application at NetApp:Physical Design • Accessibility: Fit subjects in frame and use Camtasia Studio zoom and pan features responsibly. • Viewability: Use high-resolution MP4s and high-quality microphone. • Timing: Instruction is not rushed so learners can follow the content.

  12. The Morain / Swarts Rubric:Cognitive Design • AccuracyContent is presented without any errors of fact or execution. • Completeness • Content is presented in an organizing superstructure to clarify instructional goals. • Content is presented with enough detail to ensure reproduction. • PertinenceContent is related to the instructional goal and has an instructional purpose. NetApp Confidential - Internal Use Only

  13. Application at NetApp:Cognitive Design • AccuracyRely on educated, experienced engineering SMEs • Completeness • Purpose/instructional goals stated and reiterated • Instruction is as detailed as possible. References offered (Brewery). • PertinenceContent has an instructional goal. Related materials offered in separate videos/resources. NetApp Confidential - Internal Use Only

  14. The Morain / Swarts Rubric:Affective Design • Confidence Narrator inspires confidence by presenting self as knowledgeable and skilled and also emphasizes association with reputable organizations. • Self-Efficacy Video persuades viewers that they can successfully complete the tasks that are the focus of instruction. • Engagement Video is designed to interest and motivate users.

  15. Application at NetApp:Affective Design • Confidence Presenters introduce themselves as subject matter experts • Self-Efficacy By SME demonstration, learners are reassured that they can complete the tasks relevant to instruction. • Engagement (Hardest part!) Variation of tone and interactive elements (quizzes) help keep learners engaged. NetApp Confidential - Internal Use Only

  16. Best Practices: Presentation • Keep it short (5-10 minutes) • Chunk content into chapters • Helps learners navigate to relevant topics • Use visual bookmarks between chapters • Use callouts and other visual affordances when appropriate • Keep content focused and relevant content in-frame NetApp Confidential - Internal Use Only

  17. Best Practices: Planning • Arrive early at recording session to set up. • Recording session checklist recommended. • Offer dry run sessions to those recording • Ensure that they have a script . (Don’t “wing it”) • Schedule a large time block or multiple sessions • Don’t get chased out of recording space • Pad your project schedule (Hackos) • This is not your SME’s only project • Test equipment NetApp Confidential - Internal Use Only

  19. Pop-up Video with Navigational Affordances NetApp Confidential - Internal Use Only

  20. Collect Metrics & User Feedback • User feedback forms • The Brewery has several feedback mechanisms • Survey learners or hold a focus group • Check consumption metrics • Number of downloads • Exit metrics. Where are learners giving up? • If embedding quizzes, how are learners performing? Make adjustments to help learners achieve their learning goals. NetApp Confidential - Internal Use Only
