We will update you shortly.
🏄🏻 Since the vacation period is (almost) over, our content base started to grow again – thanks to all new and not-so-new members. A couple of big translation projects started, and some abandoned learning pathways got new ideas and proposals…stay tuned!
⚒️ Overview of the Training Team Activities in August
We held 4 Training Team meetings. Weekly meetings continued to be facilitated by team reps, but in the future this will be changed. We decided to give this role to all new admins in the Training Team who are willing to facilitate the meetings.
You can read the meeting recap notes for weekly meetings on the Training Team blog.
