JoAnn Corley - PeerSpot reviewer
Have experienced scripted delivery limitations and missed opportunities for interactive learning
It is funny you ask that because that is exactly what they are starting to do now. One of my complaints has been that sometimes the courses felt staid and rigid, and it is only one format. LinkedIn Learning does something called live action where the instructor stands in front of the camera with a teleprompter and then they talk the course. They do have some graphics, assessments, and downloadable handouts, but for the most part, that is what it consists of, which can be boring regardless of how good the instructor is. This week, LinkedIn Learning has started to mix up their filming types. When I was in California last week, we did some live action with scripted content on teleprompter, but also Q&A interviews via podcast, and riffing where I would be asked a question and then talk from my heart about an issue or a client story, which is much more real and relatable. Some of the courses feel overly scripted versus more conversational. They are trying to do more handouts and downloads to have more takeaways in text, and they are focusing on making content action-oriented. The learner is getting challenged to take action to make the course real and measurable. For example, one of my courses is on how to develop future leaders, and the whole course focuses on creating challenges that people can do in real time. That is the value they are really starting to bring more and more in their new courses.

I can provide hands-on experience to my customers. Image updates (made in US DC) are not automatically copied to other DCs it seems.
Singapore DC doesn't support Hypervisor 16G-8C. If you need your image deployed in Asia (this is decided by the time zone in which the image is being used), well it isn’t. It will be deployed in the US DataCenter, which means very high latency when using the image. If you insist the image is deployed on a higher spec hardware (Hypervisor 24G), you need to negotiate with ReadyTech, otherwise a higher cost is incurred. Image updates (made in US DC) are not automatically copied to other DCs it seems. The first time a deployment in the Singapore DC is requested after an image update, the ReadyTech staff have to copy the image from the US DC to the Singapore DC before the the image can be deployed. Because of the extra time needed for the copy, this means the image is not deployed in time to be used as planned. Both result in a bad experience for our customers using the image.
