Cover three or four: I don't have time to train online (take more training) The beauty of the OU Online Library is that it is available 24/7. You can learn in the middle of the night if you need to. Course progress is tracked down to the topic, so you can study in small increments. Course topics are provided, so you can skip the chapters you don ’t need, and focus your training on just the topics you need to learn, saving time. Continued education can help improve productivity and save you time! I don't care about the topics offered Has your customer reviewed the list of categories lately? If not, see list of courses at url [link to static list] New courses are added every month, and you will automatically get access to the new additions. Many new courses can be of value. For example, the “new features” courses show customers what current product updates have to offer. Many customers like to extend their knowledge beyond their specialty. The Online Library provides an inexpensive, convenient way to do that. Offer the customer a chance to suggest a new topic for online instruction. Create an SR… Too expensive For less than $20 a month you can have a whole year's access to hundreds of courses, ready when you want them. Dozens of Oracle products and job roles are covered (five books will only cover 5 topics) The Online Library is ALWAYS up to date. Your membership ensures access to the latest updates to online training courses, which reflect changes in the Oracle product being taught (by contrast, a book is “timely” only on the date it’s published) The Online Library is available everywhere you can connect to the Internet (while you ’d have to carry the book around). No instructor interaction (I can ’t ask a question) You can post questions to Forums monitored by subject experts. The Online Library is “self-study,” which allows you to access online training courses 24 hours a day. While there is no instructor interaction, OU online courses are created using proven course design techniques to make the experience as rewarding as possible. What can I show for it? As you complete courses (and even modules within courses), OU Online Library will automatically track your progress. A personalized printable transcript is available at any time to show courses completed. If you are studying along one of our certification tracks, a certification exam is a great way to prove you ’ve mastered the content. I don ’t have good access to the Internet A 56K modem is the minimum recommendation. Course development standards are sensitive to access issues (courses don ’t include gratuitous features). Many courses are organized and provided in chunks, so you access individual modules at a time. You can turn off video features to get faster access. I don ’t like to learn online This is a common concern, but customers who use OUOL say ___Lance have anything? __ Access is very convenient, and training is always available. Online Library courses are created using proven online course design techniques to make the experience as rewarding as possible. The library and course interface is easy to understand and navigate. Courses offer quizzes to gauge your understanding. Refer customer to ILT if online training is not for them. (For organizations…) How do I ensure that my end users actually take the training? If accountability is a challenge at your company, you can always position the online subscription as a pre-requisite for a shortened, custom, onsite instructor-led engagement.
