I have created in-person, synchronous training and webinars, as well as asynchronous training. Here are a few examples.

Student Assistant Interview and New Hire Training Quizzes

In order to improve the quality of students we hire as well as better train our current students, I have created a number of quizzes covering software, customer service, and other topics covered in our training sessions for new employees.

LinkedIn Learning Training

Description:

COVID-19 in Instructional Support and Training

During COVID-19, when we were transitioning to Work From Home, I set up a series of training modules for our students to give them things to work on at home while we looked at how we could adapt their duties. Training included LIL videos on software such as Adobe InDesign, work from home tips, organization, and stress relief.

Student Assistants in Lab Services

When working for Lab Services, to prepare our Student Assistants for more responsibilities and to help them be more helpful for our patrons, I began a program to encourage students to take Lynda.com (later LinkedIn Learning) training. I had a group using Blackboard that the students belong to and could access a Lynda.com playlist of required and recommended training material.

Role Play for Student Assistant Training

Description:

Periodically, we did mass training sessions for our students that involved discussion and role play. Below are some examples of the role-play scenarios I have used for training Student Assistants.

Photos used in Training sessions

Description:

Several years ago, I created a training handout for Student Assistants that included photos showing the topics we were going to cover. Below are examples of some of our training photos.
