Training Team 2023 Year-End Review — we have a couple more goals that we are hoping to bring to the finish line before the end of the year.
- Plan promotions with the Marketing Team
- Establish monthly recurring onboarding Online Workshops in different timezones for training team roles
- Figure out a method to manage localized content translation
- Audit Handbook
Regarding the Handbook Audit, we’re looking for a full review of the handbook, noting what information is out of date, what information is missing, etc.

Anyone can review content for the Training Team. Just follow the team’s Guidelines for reviewing content
@Jonathan – I’d like to remind folks that when reviewing the Learning Pathways Lessons, we’re still in the process of finalizing the new Content Creation Guidelines for Learning Pathways Lessons, and once that’s done, we’ll need to also update the Guidelines for reviewing content. So until we do that, please use the same process for reviewing Tutorials to review Learning Pathways Lessons.
I encourage anyone interested in contributing to the Training Team to check out the handbook page about getting a team badge: Team Profile Badges
These can be a great goal to aim for when starting to contribute to a team
I just wanted to remind folks about the Request for feedback: Lesson Handbook pages post, which is open for feedback until 19 December. I want to try and finalize those pages before the end of the year, so we start the year with clear guidelines for creating, reviewing, and publishing Learning Pathway Lessons.
Project Updates
We didn’t have any project updates in the agenda. Is there anyone joining the meeting async who would like to provide the team with an update on anything? (Feel free to start a thread here )
Open Discussions
Jamie Madden – The Helpscout queue is down to just 2 open tickets for tutorial applicants.
To give folks a bit more context:
- Help Scout is the email inbox service the Training Team uses to receive and respond to form submissions. Faculty Administrators have access, and they process these emails for the team.
- We had a bit of a backlog these last few weeks… Around 40 emails at one point, I believe? @Jamie Madden has been working through them for us.
You can see all meetings scheduled on this meeting calendar. If you are new to the Training Team, then come walk through our onboarding program to get to know the team and how we work. And if you have questions, feel free to reach out in the #training Slack channel at any time.
