Duration: 30 Minutes
[00:00:05.070]
Thank you again everyone for joining.

[00:00:07.099]
We have another gale one on one session today

[00:00:09.239]
and this one is focused on Gale Presents: Udemy.

[00:00:11.419]
My name is Amber Winters and I'm

[00:00:13.550]
a senior training consultant here with Gale.

[00:00:15.579]
I'm going to be working with you today.

[00:00:17.780]
So a brief agenda here for you. Also, first,

[00:00:19.870]
we'll just have a nice little overview of the resources,

[00:00:22.769]
but this is going to be handy, especially if

[00:00:25.129]
you're new to the resource, just kind of what you can expect

[00:00:27.798]
what the goals of the resource are. I

[00:00:29.829]
have a few special features. I've pulled out that I want

[00:00:31.949]
to mention to you as well. Then

[00:00:34.090]
after that, we'll walk through the platform. That's where we're going

[00:00:36.130]
to spend the majority of our time today. Just kind of

[00:00:38.139]
going through the different workflows that

[00:00:40.189]
are available for your patrons as well as some of

[00:00:42.209]
the different content.

[00:00:44.348]
And then at the very end of the session, we should have a little

[00:00:46.539]
bit of wrap up time and I have some contact information

[00:00:48.789]
for you. And if there are any questions

[00:00:51.209]
I can't answer as we move along through the session today,

[00:00:53.469]
we'll hit those at the end as well. But

[00:00:55.700]
again, the Q and A box is already open.

[00:00:57.719]
So feel free to put your questions in there as

[00:01:00.060]
we move forward, we should have plenty of time to answer

[00:01:02.098]
questions as we move along today.

[00:01:05.980]
So Gale Presents: Udemy provides

[00:01:08.189]
on-demand courses for in demand skills.

[00:01:10.448]
So this resource provides over 26,000

[00:01:13.528]
full on demand online courses

[00:01:15.948]
that are going to help your patrons from beginner

[00:01:18.370]
all the way to advanced kind of enhance

[00:01:20.579]
their skills, either professionally or

[00:01:22.668]
personally.

[00:01:24.808]
And a few of the key subject areas we've highlighted

[00:01:27.239]
include technology. So things like A

[00:01:29.329]
I and cybersecurity, but also things

[00:01:31.459]
like graphic design and other maybe softer

[00:01:33.668]
skills. We have quite a few

[00:01:35.888]
business resources focused

[00:01:37.969]
on leadership management. We

[00:01:40.058]
also have a nice collection of entrepreneurship

[00:01:42.269]
resources. So if you do have a lot of entrepreneurs

[00:01:44.579]
coming into your library,

[00:01:46.120]
you know, trying to start their own business and

[00:01:48.180]
maybe just not quite sure where to start. We have

[00:01:50.629]
a full collection of courses

[00:01:52.808]
to help them out with that. I'll show you how you can find

[00:01:54.859]
those a little bit later on.

[00:01:56.379]
We also have information related to marketing

[00:01:58.659]
and again, personal development. We have a nice personal

[00:02:00.879]
development section here as well. So if

[00:02:02.948]
your patrons are looking to work on their

[00:02:05.000]
time management or their organization,

[00:02:07.269]
or maybe they want to do yoga or maybe they want

[00:02:09.429]
to learn a new language they'll be able to

[00:02:11.449]
do that within gail presents you to me here as

[00:02:13.469]
well.

[00:02:15.469]
And another great feature that I really enjoy

[00:02:17.699]
about Udemy is we have both a

[00:02:19.710]
nice search and a browse

[00:02:21.929]
capability. So, however your

[00:02:23.939]
patrons prefer to get their information, you know, if they

[00:02:26.008]
have something very specific in mind, they

[00:02:28.110]
want to learn about Microsoft Excel,

[00:02:30.139]
they can search for that if it's a little

[00:02:32.179]
bit up in the air. You know, they're really, they're interested

[00:02:34.469]
in graphic design, but

[00:02:36.139]
they don't really know anything about it. So they can't really

[00:02:38.219]
search anything just yet. They can

[00:02:40.360]
just point and click and look through the different graphic

[00:02:42.528]
design topics to kind of spark their interest

[00:02:44.838]
and maybe get them started in something new that they

[00:02:46.919]
never even knew about.

[00:02:50.169]
And a couple of key features I want to point out here first

[00:02:52.479]
is our badging system.

[00:02:54.558]
So our badges, excuse me

[00:02:56.679]
are kind of like guides that are helping your

[00:02:58.838]
patrons find courses related to different

[00:03:01.219]
certifications. So a lot of them are

[00:03:03.308]
going to be aws certifications. There are

[00:03:05.319]
some Google certifications in here

[00:03:07.849]
and these are just designed to make sure your patrons can

[00:03:09.899]
access the courses. They need to make

[00:03:11.960]
sure they can pass those certifications.

[00:03:15.308]
And when they click into a badge, they're going

[00:03:17.360]
to see this nice clean page here. It's

[00:03:19.580]
telling them what this certificate is,

[00:03:22.088]
is letting them learn about the badge and

[00:03:24.099]
they can also schedule their certification exam.

[00:03:26.368]
This option actually launches them to

[00:03:28.460]
the certifications web page. So if it's aws

[00:03:31.058]
it's gonna go to that web page again. If it's Google,

[00:03:33.179]
it'll go there

[00:03:34.520]
and then down underneath is where we've collected

[00:03:36.819]
all of the different courses that are going to be applicable

[00:03:39.258]
for this particular certification.

[00:03:41.909]
so your patrons will be able to go in

[00:03:44.338]
and take all of these courses before they get that certification

[00:03:47.008]
to make sure they're ready to go. And it's, I

[00:03:49.099]
personally think it's really nice that we've decided to

[00:03:51.149]
pull these out and collect them for your users.

[00:03:53.659]
So they're not kind of having to pick through and run

[00:03:55.819]
their searches and browse. It's just all here on this

[00:03:57.969]
one nice page ready to go for them.

[00:04:03.399]
Also, in this resource, we have a, an extensive

[00:04:05.899]
foreign language collection.

[00:04:08.210]
So these are fully developed courses,

[00:04:10.569]
they're not translated from English, they're

[00:04:12.599]
actually fully developed and

[00:04:14.610]
recorded in whatever language

[00:04:16.790]
your patron chooses. We actually have 15 available

[00:04:19.209]
languages including English. So 14

[00:04:22.358]
languages other than English,

[00:04:24.949]
and we do have a filter within

[00:04:27.220]
our resource. On the left hand side of the screen,

[00:04:29.350]
we're going to take a look at this in a second, that's

[00:04:31.509]
actually going to let your patrons kind of narrow down

[00:04:33.819]
to the language they need, so they can run their search

[00:04:35.949]
first or, you know, they can click and browse

[00:04:38.250]
down to whatever they're looking for. And then they

[00:04:40.319]
can choose whatever language they're interested in here.

[00:04:42.704]
It does default to just showing, I'm sorry,

[00:04:44.863]
it defaults to showing all of the languages.

[00:04:47.014]
But of course, they're most likely going to see English

[00:04:50.125]
the most on the page because generally that's

[00:04:52.153]
the most courses we have,

[00:04:54.444]
but they can hit that language drop down

[00:04:56.665]
and then choose whichever language they needed you. So

[00:04:58.694]
they can actually choose more than one

[00:05:01.379]
right here on the left hand side. So if maybe

[00:05:03.608]
they want to look at both the English and the Spanish

[00:05:05.959]
language courses, they can

[00:05:08.088]
do that and be taken directly to those.

[00:05:13.879]
Now, that's enough of me talking. Let's actually dive

[00:05:16.149]
into the resource. So we can take a look at how this all

[00:05:18.350]
functions, how it works together. While

[00:05:20.660]
I switch over here. Are there any questions just about

[00:05:22.829]
that really quick overview?

[00:05:32.250]
OK. I don't see any of her quiet

[00:05:34.290]
today. No problem. Let's go ahead and keep going.

[00:05:36.420]
So I already signed in just for the

[00:05:38.480]
sake of time. Just so you know, when your patrons

[00:05:40.838]
sign in, they can choose to either make an account

[00:05:43.170]
within Gale Presents: Udemy

[00:05:45.399]
or they can choose to sign in using their Microsoft

[00:05:47.988]
or their Goog Accounts.

[00:05:49.730]
I always recommend having them utilize

[00:05:51.738]
either the Microsoft or the Google integration

[00:05:54.309]
because then they don't need to worry about having a

[00:05:56.319]
separate password for gil persons, Udemy.

[00:05:58.670]
They'll just click sign in with Microsoft

[00:06:00.980]
Microsoft will just sign them and

[00:06:03.108]
they'll be recognized on the computer.

[00:06:05.329]
So again, it's up to them, but I definitely

[00:06:07.428]
recommend using either the Google or Microsoft

[00:06:10.000]
sign in.

[00:06:11.528]
But once they do sign in that we take

[00:06:13.588]
here, this is the home page of Gail presents you to me

[00:06:15.939]
and mine is a little bit built out because as

[00:06:18.000]
you can imagine, I've been in this resource a lot,

[00:06:20.329]
but you'll see here right on this home page

[00:06:22.319]
at the very top. Once I start taking courses

[00:06:24.889]
and start getting engaged with the resource, it's

[00:06:27.048]
going to give me some stats here. So

[00:06:29.250]
we'll see how often I'm in the resource.

[00:06:31.559]
How often I actually go through and take

[00:06:33.629]
courses as opposed to just clicking through the resource.

[00:06:36.480]
I get just these little stats to kind of

[00:06:38.588]
get me started and get me motivated. You know, if

[00:06:40.689]
I see here

[00:06:42.160]
I visited three times, but I actually haven't

[00:06:44.579]
taken any courses recently. That

[00:06:46.889]
might kind of get me kick started and get me back into

[00:06:49.019]
the courses as opposed to just kind of clicking

[00:06:51.079]
through here.

[00:06:54.949]
We have a question. What's the benefit of signing in with Google

[00:06:57.189]
or Microsoft account besides convenience?

[00:06:59.790]
Sarah, the convenience is really the main

[00:07:01.850]
thing. That's why we've included it in here. Um

[00:07:04.129]
I can check to see, I'm assuming the

[00:07:06.338]
security on that is going to be about the same,

[00:07:08.389]
whether you make an account within G person's uni

[00:07:10.608]
verse Google or Microsoft. But let

[00:07:12.910]
me go with my project manager to see what else she has to say.

[00:07:15.069]
But I would say convenience is definitely going to be kind

[00:07:17.250]
of the top factor in using Google or Microsoft.

[00:07:19.588]
But I'll send you an email after the session

[00:07:21.619]
when I hear back from her.

[00:07:26.559]
Ok. So right here in this home page

[00:07:28.588]
now, if I start to scroll down,

[00:07:30.379]
you'll see again since I've already been in this resource

[00:07:32.709]
and started doing courses. I have this nice

[00:07:34.879]
pick up where you left off option here. So

[00:07:37.189]
you see, I've taken a couple courses

[00:07:39.649]
and I can click back into any of these whenever I want

[00:07:42.119]
and your patrons can start as many

[00:07:44.309]
courses as they want. So they don't have to do, you know, one

[00:07:46.619]
at a time and finish the one and start the second one.

[00:07:48.649]
So if how they work

[00:07:50.879]
is by having four or five different courses going

[00:07:53.079]
at once and kind of, you know, toggling between

[00:07:55.189]
them, that's completely fine. They can

[00:07:57.399]
click into any of them. They want, it is unlimited

[00:07:59.869]
use, it's free. So they don't need to worry about,

[00:08:02.149]
you know, hitting a maximum or something like

[00:08:04.160]
that, scrolling

[00:08:06.420]
down from this pick up where you left off. We

[00:08:08.439]
also have a what to learn next section.

[00:08:11.178]
So this is going to be based on the courses

[00:08:13.189]
that your patrons view. So if they

[00:08:15.259]
browse through and start clicking into courses to take

[00:08:17.480]
a look at the descriptions and things like that.

[00:08:19.709]
That's going to inform this home page and we're going to

[00:08:21.759]
start making recommendations for them

[00:08:25.000]
scrolling down further. You'll see this one is based

[00:08:27.189]
on, I ran a search for Microsoft the

[00:08:29.250]
other day. So now it's giving me information related

[00:08:31.588]
to that search

[00:08:34.619]
and look. So we have a question here who creates the course content?

[00:08:37.000]
What are their qualifications?

[00:08:38.590]
So I'll actually show you Virginia where you

[00:08:40.649]
can find that. But the courses are created by subject

[00:08:43.070]
matter experts. A lot of them are professors in their

[00:08:45.259]
field. Some of them are professionals in their

[00:08:47.359]
field, kind of depending on what the subject is.

[00:08:49.509]
But I'll actually show you once we click

[00:08:51.629]
into a course where you can find that person's information

[00:08:54.519]
and kind of learn a little bit more about them, but they are all

[00:08:56.619]
created by industry leaders.

[00:08:58.629]
A lot of times professors, a lot of times just

[00:09:00.649]
business professionals and things like that.

[00:09:06.788]
Now scrolling down a little bit more. Again, our top picks

[00:09:08.820]
listed here,

[00:09:10.119]
I'm gonna scroll a little bit further down here

[00:09:14.440]
because we also list here the newest

[00:09:16.788]
resources listed. So

[00:09:18.869]
as we add new

[00:09:20.759]
courses here, we'll also list them

[00:09:22.908]
for your patrons to kind of explore this

[00:09:25.019]
one. Actually, I haven't seen yet, which is kind of interesting

[00:09:27.369]
tap dance master class. So again,

[00:09:29.570]
that personal development. If you have patrons

[00:09:31.639]
coming in, who want to start a new hobby. This

[00:09:33.849]
is a nice place to send them. You'll see, we have tap dancing

[00:09:36.139]
but we also have like photography and drawing

[00:09:38.450]
and things like that

[00:09:41.889]
scrolling down at the very bottom. I like to point this

[00:09:43.989]
out as well. Are these nice little bite

[00:09:46.099]
size learning? So you'll see, it gives

[00:09:48.200]
how long these videos are? Some of them

[00:09:50.229]
are, you know, 10 minutes, some are five,

[00:09:52.288]
some are even four. These are really

[00:09:54.359]
cool. If your patron just wants to get a little bit

[00:09:56.399]
of knowledge, you know, they don't have time right now to sit

[00:09:58.538]
in front of their course and you know, work through a couple

[00:10:00.599]
hours. They just want to know a little bit

[00:10:02.719]
about

[00:10:03.690]
encryption. OK? Click into this five

[00:10:05.798]
minute video and you'll get a nice brief, little bit of

[00:10:07.879]
information

[00:10:08.869]
and then when they're ready, they can come back and take a longer

[00:10:11.139]
course. So this is just giving them

[00:10:13.219]
almost like a little taste of what they can expect

[00:10:15.469]
within this resource here.

[00:10:18.859]
I'm going to scroll back up to the home page here

[00:10:21.369]
or to the top of the home page because

[00:10:23.820]
if we have a few things here that are going

[00:10:25.908]
to kind of help enhance

[00:10:27.969]
how we walk through this platform. First,

[00:10:30.279]
I do want to point out on the top right corner here.

[00:10:32.969]
This is where the information about your account

[00:10:35.200]
is housed. Um I'm not going to go

[00:10:37.308]
through everything today. You can certainly take a look at the different

[00:10:39.500]
settings available. But one thing I do want to point out

[00:10:41.629]
is this is where you can change

[00:10:43.389]
the language of the platform.

[00:10:45.849]
It does default to English, but

[00:10:47.989]
I can choose to change this out here. If I want Spanish,

[00:10:50.379]
let's say

[00:10:52.668]
now when I navigate through, you'll see all of my buttons

[00:10:54.859]
here are in Spanish, my search is in Spanish

[00:10:57.609]
and then all of these little subjects

[00:10:59.668]
subject lines on the home page are also

[00:11:01.989]
in Spanish.

[00:11:03.940]
But we're going to oops,

[00:11:06.639]
we're going to keep this on English

[00:11:11.538]
cos thats a little bit easier for me to navigate

[00:11:13.570]
through. Hm.

[00:11:15.090]
So if they need to change anything like that,

[00:11:17.168]
they can find that up here under their initials.

[00:11:21.408]
Now, the first way they can navigate through this resource

[00:11:23.649]
is to use this little browse option down here,

[00:11:26.009]
right on the toolbar.

[00:11:27.639]
You'll see we break it up into some of the most

[00:11:30.529]
utilized sections here. So you'll

[00:11:32.639]
find things like cloud computing, language,

[00:11:35.288]
learning, marketing productivity,

[00:11:37.969]
and these are going to be really broad. So when I click into

[00:11:40.080]
one of these, um let's go with cybersecurity

[00:11:42.849]
when I click into one of these, now you'll

[00:11:44.979]
see, it gives me a second step here. So if I wanna

[00:11:47.129]
get even closer maybe defensive

[00:11:49.479]
security or security awareness, I can do

[00:11:51.639]
that scrolling

[00:11:54.080]
down here it's going to show me featured courses.

[00:11:56.308]
So these are courses that are, generally

[00:11:58.639]
going to be updated most recently.

[00:12:00.950]
You'll see this one was updated. June 2024.

[00:12:03.330]
Anyone watching the recording right now, it's July

[00:12:05.668]
2024. So this was rec record, this was

[00:12:07.719]
updated just last month

[00:12:11.359]
and then scrolling down from there. We've got some getting

[00:12:13.469]
started courses. So these generally are

[00:12:15.500]
going to be

[00:12:16.908]
kind of your simpler courses to kind of get

[00:12:19.149]
going here.

[00:12:20.129]
And then at the very bottom of this page, this is

[00:12:22.139]
where you're just going to find a list of all of the courses

[00:12:24.469]
that have been tagged to the cybersecurity

[00:12:27.359]
topic or the cybersecurity section.

[00:12:30.469]
What's great is I can hover over any of these. Let me

[00:12:32.489]
scroll up a little bit

[00:12:33.658]
and you'll see this nice little what you'll learn

[00:12:35.678]
pop up. So this is really nice

[00:12:37.798]
if they're kind of scrolling through quickly and just want

[00:12:39.820]
to see quick bits of information. You know, they

[00:12:41.918]
don't want to click into all of these entries

[00:12:44.460]
to read what they're about. They can get some, you'll see this

[00:12:46.570]
one's got three little checkmarks, telling them what they're going

[00:12:48.719]
to learn. And they can kind of

[00:12:50.739]
see if this is something they want to actually explore

[00:12:52.899]
further.

[00:12:54.769]
And on this left hand side here, you'll see we have

[00:12:56.989]
all of our filters listed here. I

[00:12:59.070]
will mention this defaults to sorting by popularity.

[00:13:01.950]
So it's going to be the, the courses

[00:13:04.168]
that are the most used,

[00:13:05.609]
but they can also sort by highest, right,

[00:13:07.710]
highest rated or they can sort by the newest,

[00:13:10.190]
so newest to oldest

[00:13:13.320]
underneath that with our filters here, you'll see, they can

[00:13:15.469]
default by choosing a rating.

[00:13:18.190]
They can also choose video duration.

[00:13:20.590]
And a lot of these courses are going to be pretty long.

[00:13:22.840]
A lot of them have, you know,

[00:13:24.899]
different units involved as well as a bunch of different

[00:13:27.469]
videos. So

[00:13:29.538]
you see some of these are like 17 plus hours.

[00:13:32.129]
It's not going to be one video that's 17

[00:13:34.190]
hours. It's going to be maybe, you know,

[00:13:36.469]
10 videos that are going to span

[00:13:38.489]
17 hours. So this is going to

[00:13:40.548]
be the duration of the full course

[00:13:44.119]
if they need to narrow down by topic. Again. Remember

[00:13:46.229]
we just clicked into cybersecurity. So we're going

[00:13:48.269]
to see, you know,

[00:13:49.288]
a huge amount of content. They can narrow it down even

[00:13:51.440]
a little bit further. If they're interested in

[00:13:53.529]
ethical hacking, they can just click this topic

[00:13:57.029]
and now we've just narrowed it down to that and they can

[00:13:59.158]
easily unclick it as well and get back to that main

[00:14:01.529]
browse.

[00:14:03.019]
We also have levels here. So we have beginner, intermediate

[00:14:05.609]
and experts. Each of them are,

[00:14:07.729]
each of our courses are leveled this way

[00:14:10.629]
and of course they not may not be 100%

[00:14:13.038]
sure if they're vegan or, or if they're intermediate,

[00:14:15.369]
what they could do is check both

[00:14:18.830]
and then if they find something interesting hover

[00:14:20.979]
over and kind of learn

[00:14:23.158]
to see if that is something they'd be able

[00:14:25.178]
to take a look at.

[00:14:27.710]
it looks like I have questions about prepping for

[00:14:29.840]
the GED. I don't believe we have

[00:14:31.859]
GED prep courses in here. currently

[00:14:34.519]
it's more focused,

[00:14:35.960]
um, on kind of professional

[00:14:38.080]
growth and personal growth as opposed to educational

[00:14:40.609]
growth. I don't believe as of right now, we have GED

[00:14:42.820]
courses

[00:14:50.678]
now, underneath this level filter, we also

[00:14:52.798]
have our language options here.

[00:14:55.330]
So you see we have all of them listed and you may notice,

[00:14:57.678]
have noticed in a couple of my other filters, we

[00:14:59.879]
actually show how many are listed

[00:15:02.019]
here as well. So if they want French,

[00:15:04.548]
they have the option between 22 different courses

[00:15:06.719]
in French here.

[00:15:10.029]
Our next filter is the features option. So

[00:15:12.690]
if we want to make sure there are subtitles, we can

[00:15:14.729]
check that a lot of our courses have quizzes

[00:15:17.178]
to kind of make sure they're actually learning what they need

[00:15:19.379]
to learn.

[00:15:20.428]
If it's a coding course, they'll have coding

[00:15:22.519]
exercises and a lot of them

[00:15:24.658]
have practice tests here as well.

[00:15:26.849]
So practice tests are going to be longer

[00:15:29.219]
than quizzes.

[00:15:30.418]
You can think of quizzes like a quick check to make sure

[00:15:32.509]
everything's going good. A practice test is going

[00:15:34.658]
to be longer. You kind of think of that as

[00:15:36.700]


[00:15:39.609]
the end of a course, wrap up, you take that full

[00:15:42.259]
test to make sure, you know what's going on.

[00:15:45.178]
And Virginia just has a question about

[00:15:47.288]
how our focus is kind of more on professional

[00:15:49.658]
growth as opposed to educational growth. So

[00:15:51.820]
Virginia, what I mean by that is you're not going to find a lot of

[00:15:53.849]
courses for

[00:15:55.298]
um standardized tests

[00:15:58.080]
or, you know, things like medical

[00:16:00.349]
assisting, like vocational prep and things like that.

[00:16:02.750]
We're more focused on

[00:16:05.918]
building skills for business and for personal

[00:16:08.330]
growth. So leadership skills,

[00:16:10.629]
you know, maybe building skills related to

[00:16:12.678]
coding or building skills related to

[00:16:15.259]
graphic design and how to build

[00:16:17.349]
marketing strategies and things like that. So as

[00:16:19.428]
opposed to kind of those standardized

[00:16:21.619]
testing, things like that, you're not

[00:16:23.710]
going to find much of that in here. You're going to find more

[00:16:26.200]
teaching the skills necessary

[00:16:28.349]
for a career or for a new hobby,

[00:16:30.548]
things like that.

[00:16:37.408]
Now, let's go ahead and scroll back up

[00:16:39.460]
here

[00:16:41.080]
because I do want to show you another way we can browse

[00:16:43.119]
for content. So again, we took a look,

[00:16:45.399]
let me jump back to our home page first

[00:16:47.629]
at this toolbar which is giving us kind of those

[00:16:49.690]
big buckets of content where we'll most likely

[00:16:51.729]
have to browse and filter through.

[00:16:53.700]
I can also use this little explorer drop

[00:16:55.798]
down, which is found right next to the search bar

[00:16:58.178]
and this is kind of giving me a step by step.

[00:17:00.500]
It's going to have the same starting

[00:17:02.580]
categories as you see in this toolbar.

[00:17:05.199]
But now I can kind of scroll over here,

[00:17:08.400]
take a look if I wanna hover over personal

[00:17:10.549]
development. Now you'll see this is broken

[00:17:12.568]
down for me here. As I mentioned, we have

[00:17:14.578]
a lot of entrepreneurship topics. So

[00:17:16.588]
if you do have small business owners

[00:17:18.598]
or those wanting to start a small business coming in,

[00:17:20.969]
this may be a good place for them to stop.

[00:17:23.390]
I can click directly into entrepreneurship or

[00:17:25.459]
you'll see, I can even take it one step further.

[00:17:27.739]
And maybe I'm interested in how Shopify works.

[00:17:30.059]
I can click right into Shopify.

[00:17:34.439]
You'll see at the top here, we do still include

[00:17:36.509]
a featured course

[00:17:39.410]
underneath. This is kind of an as you

[00:17:41.489]
move forward. So students who are learning

[00:17:43.739]
about Shopify may also be interested

[00:17:46.118]
in Facebook, Facebook, marketing or ads

[00:17:48.338]
and they can click in here.

[00:17:49.868]
And then again, just like that last option, you'll see

[00:17:51.949]
at the very bottom. This is a list of all of the

[00:17:53.979]
courses we have. So you'll see this is a lot

[00:17:56.199]
shorter list because we really honed

[00:17:58.289]
down before we actually got to the list. You know, we

[00:18:00.559]
took two separate steps

[00:18:02.699]
to get to our list before we started navigating

[00:18:05.000]
through it. So you'll see, we have three options here.

[00:18:07.630]
The two are English and one is another

[00:18:09.689]
language I'm not quite sure about,

[00:18:12.150]
but you'll find that here.

[00:18:16.318]
Now, also under that explore button, that's

[00:18:18.400]
where you're going to find those badges.

[00:18:21.130]
That certification prep I mentioned earlier. You'll

[00:18:23.209]
see when I hover over. It's the first option

[00:18:25.568]
listed here. Certification prep.

[00:18:30.660]
And this is really going to be the closest thing we have

[00:18:32.959]
to like a standardized test prep.

[00:18:35.259]
These are going to be certification, actual

[00:18:37.328]
Real World certifications that your patrons

[00:18:39.650]
may be getting ready to take

[00:18:41.588]
and this is going to help them prepare for those. So

[00:18:43.789]
a lot of them are aws because they actually

[00:18:45.969]
have a lot of published certifications here.

[00:18:48.630]
You'll see some, we have related

[00:18:50.920]
to Google

[00:18:52.818]
on this left hand side here. If

[00:18:54.930]
you or your patrons wanna see what different issuers

[00:18:57.180]
are available, we can drop down this show more.

[00:18:59.858]
You'll see there's quite a few here

[00:19:02.430]
so we can kind of click into those as

[00:19:04.578]
needed.

[00:19:06.430]
But let's close that out here.

[00:19:09.640]
Now, when I click into one of these, lets just click

[00:19:11.670]
into this one here.

[00:19:13.680]
It's pulling me forward a little bit of information

[00:19:15.739]
about what the certificate is

[00:19:17.809]
scrolling down. This is where I can view badge

[00:19:20.019]
details, which is actually going to launch me over

[00:19:22.078]
into the AWS website

[00:19:24.430]
specific for the certification.

[00:19:26.630]
You'll see this little eye icon is letting me know that

[00:19:28.868]
when I click on this link, I'm going somewhere else,

[00:19:32.250]
I can also set a certification due

[00:19:34.269]
date. And what this is going to tell me is,

[00:19:36.390]
you know, if I need to prep for my certification

[00:19:38.588]
that I'm going to be taking

[00:19:40.189]
two months from now, I can put that date in here

[00:19:42.799]
and then Udemy is going to remind me, hey, you

[00:19:44.920]
know, this is coming up two months. You should be taking this,

[00:19:47.338]
you know, this many courses. You should be watching this many

[00:19:49.568]
minutes of your video a day. So

[00:19:51.920]
it's kind of like a nice little motivator to remind

[00:19:54.088]
people that,

[00:19:55.199]
you know, they shouldn't wait until a week before their,

[00:19:57.799]
their

[00:19:59.019]
certification and kind of cram,

[00:20:01.098]
this is going to help them kind of stretch out their learning.

[00:20:03.449]
So underneath all of that good

[00:20:05.489]
stuff

[00:20:07.118]
you'll see here, this is a list

[00:20:09.130]
of the courses that we think are going to be helpful.

[00:20:11.318]
So a list of the courses that are specifically

[00:20:13.568]
linked to this certification. Again,

[00:20:16.009]
we have our same filters here that we want to filter

[00:20:18.118]
out, but we're already down to five results

[00:20:20.519]
because again, we have filtered before we took a look

[00:20:22.739]
at anything.

[00:20:26.189]
And now before I click into a course, I do want to show

[00:20:28.259]
you how the search works. It's a nice simple

[00:20:30.459]
search. Nothing tricky here. But

[00:20:32.489]
if they have something specific in mind, they may

[00:20:34.598]
want to run a search. I'm gonna search for Microsoft

[00:20:37.838]
because this is something we see a lot people wanting

[00:20:40.068]
to learn about. You know,

[00:20:41.588]
the Microsoft Suite, things like that, maybe more specifically,

[00:20:44.709]
they want to learn a bit about Microsoft Excel.

[00:20:47.939]
And you'll notice when I actually hover over this first

[00:20:50.029]
entry, it's telling me instead of giving me

[00:20:52.068]
those quick facts about what I'm going to learn.

[00:20:54.318]
It's telling me I'm actually already enrolled in this course.

[00:20:56.539]
I enrolled in it back in 2022. So

[00:20:58.699]
if I did click into this course I'd actually still

[00:21:00.709]
be enrolled and I'd be able to just

[00:21:02.759]
start off from where whenever I left off,

[00:21:04.799]
wherever I left off.

[00:21:07.900]
If I wanna scroll down here,

[00:21:10.259]
maybe I'm interested in this

[00:21:12.439]
365 administration

[00:21:15.269]
when I click into this. Now, this is going to give me

[00:21:17.328]
a few a full view of what this course

[00:21:19.368]
looks like before I enroll. So

[00:21:21.410]
you see I can scroll down, this is what I'm going to learn

[00:21:24.269]
some requirements. So if this is

[00:21:26.410]
a more advanced course, it's going to let me know

[00:21:28.549]
that if it requires a specific

[00:21:30.650]
type of software, it's going to let me know that.

[00:21:33.009]
So that's important for things like Adobe

[00:21:35.699]
Suite training, you know, if someone wants to learn how to use

[00:21:37.959]
Photoshop, most likely for this course,

[00:21:40.170]
they're going to want to have Photoshop so they can practice.

[00:21:42.868]
So this is going to let them know that

[00:21:46.509]
there we go dropping that down a little bit.

[00:21:48.689]
This will give another full description. Who

[00:21:50.969]
is this class for?

[00:21:53.170]
If students took this class, what else they

[00:21:55.180]
took

[00:21:56.858]
the course content? So this is almost like a syllabus.

[00:21:59.229]
You'll see, we have different modules

[00:22:02.049]
and you'll see all of the different videos. Looks like most

[00:22:04.118]
of these are pretty short, some are six minutes,

[00:22:06.519]
but they're nice and chopped up for

[00:22:08.559]
your students. So they don't get overwhelmed.

[00:22:11.289]
And then underneath that, we had a question earlier

[00:22:13.410]
about who makes these

[00:22:15.630]
courses.

[00:22:17.039]
You'll have instructor information here

[00:22:19.759]
on the course page. So it looks

[00:22:21.789]
like this is actually a full

[00:22:24.489]
program that builds these courses. Sometimes it's

[00:22:26.640]
an individual who's built this course, like an individual

[00:22:28.920]
professor. But you'll see, you can click in here

[00:22:31.170]
and learn more about who this instructor

[00:22:33.259]
is. What they do

[00:22:35.289]
underneath that. You'll see, we also provide course

[00:22:37.559]
ratings. So we'll be able to see what people think about the

[00:22:39.578]
course because of course, you know, we

[00:22:41.588]
want to know what other people think if they've clicked through this.

[00:22:43.719]
Was it helpful for the helpful for them? Was it maybe

[00:22:45.959]
a little bit confusing for beginners?

[00:22:48.229]
maybe, you know, was it labeled advanced?

[00:22:50.289]
But maybe it's a little bit easier than what they anticipated.

[00:22:52.949]
You're going to see real course rankings

[00:22:55.479]
right here at the very bottom of this page.

[00:22:59.000]
And let me scroll back up here.

[00:23:01.309]
Now, if I took a look at this and I'm

[00:23:03.459]
gonna say, yes, this is exactly what I want

[00:23:05.509]
to take a look at, this is what I need to learn. I'll

[00:23:07.900]
just hit my purple and roll now button

[00:23:13.289]
and I'm good to go. It's going to start this

[00:23:15.410]
off. I'm gonna pause this video.

[00:23:17.680]
No, it didn't start. So it just gets

[00:23:19.838]
me started off right here. This main

[00:23:21.880]
screen, this is going to be the videos they're going to watch.

[00:23:24.568]
The navigation here is on this right hand

[00:23:26.578]
side so they can click through once

[00:23:28.650]
they finish a section. So they watch the full

[00:23:30.769]
video, it's going to check it off for them. They

[00:23:32.868]
can go back and watch it again if they want to. Of course,

[00:23:35.118]
if they are maybe a little bit confused or just need to refresh.

[00:23:37.529]
but it's going to show them how far they get.

[00:23:40.680]
Then down underneath here, we have

[00:23:42.789]
kind of the same information we saw on that enrollment

[00:23:45.029]
page with the what to learn in the description.

[00:23:47.259]
So if it's been a second before your users

[00:23:49.449]
were in this resource, they may need to just refresh

[00:23:52.019]
what they're actually learning about.

[00:23:53.578]
They'll find all of that down below.

[00:23:56.108]
We also have here A Q and A. So this is going to show

[00:23:58.289]
any questions that have popped up recently.

[00:24:01.400]
If there are announcements

[00:24:03.309]
again, we have our reviews listed here. If we want to take

[00:24:05.380]
a look at those as well. I found

[00:24:07.489]
down here under this video

[00:24:09.828]
listed here

[00:24:12.400]
at the top, you'll see it's actually going to show me my

[00:24:14.430]
progress here as well. So right now

[00:24:16.469]
I've taken zero of 56 courses.

[00:24:20.009]
I can share this if I like

[00:24:22.219]
or I can favorite this course or archive

[00:24:24.259]
this course. So archiving

[00:24:26.338]
this course, it's going to kind

[00:24:28.390]
of hide it from my view. So it's not going to be something

[00:24:30.578]
where I see when I click into Gale presents

[00:24:32.630]
view to me every time it's telling me, hey, don't forget to start

[00:24:34.640]
this course again,

[00:24:35.779]
so I can archive it. So if I want

[00:24:37.890]
to go back and look at it later, I can, but it's

[00:24:39.930]
not like right front and center,

[00:24:42.400]
I can also un enroll in this course. So if I

[00:24:44.420]
know I'm not coming back to this course, I can

[00:24:46.650]
unenroll and it's not going to appear anywhere.

[00:24:49.880]
Now, all of the courses that I enroll

[00:24:51.930]
in, I'm actually gonna jump back to my main

[00:24:54.068]
page here.

[00:24:55.380]
All of the courses that I enroll in are going

[00:24:57.390]
to be found under this mylearning section, which

[00:24:59.459]
is found right up top here right next to the search

[00:25:01.469]
bar.

[00:25:02.328]
You'll see. I've, I have a couple that I haven't

[00:25:04.348]
started yet

[00:25:05.549]
and I have a couple that I did already start. If

[00:25:07.650]
I go to the go to my learning option here,

[00:25:12.529]
this is where I'm going to see everything

[00:25:14.689]
that I'm currently enrolled

[00:25:16.838]
in. You'll see, it's also showing me how much I've completed.

[00:25:19.078]
So a lot of this, I haven't started

[00:25:21.368]
one I have fully completed.

[00:25:23.838]
If I rated it, it's going to show that here

[00:25:25.880]
as well.

[00:25:27.630]
But anytime you enroll for a course is going to appear

[00:25:29.890]
here under this all courses.

[00:25:32.199]
Now, remember, we do have the option to

[00:25:34.630]
archive these. So if I don't really

[00:25:36.670]
want this in the act of my courses section

[00:25:38.769]
right now, like let's say this Aws

[00:25:41.009]
one, I'm, I'm not going to work on right now.

[00:25:43.380]
I can hit this little three

[00:25:45.439]
dot icon

[00:25:46.739]
and I can archive this course.

[00:25:49.439]
Now. It's not under my main all courses

[00:25:51.539]
section. But if I ever want to take a look

[00:25:53.630]
back and maybe find it again. You know, I have more

[00:25:55.750]
time now and I want to explore it.

[00:25:58.229]
You'll see right up top here in this black

[00:26:00.430]
toolbar. I have archived

[00:26:04.410]
and this is going to show me any course that

[00:26:06.598]
I was previously enrolled in

[00:26:08.660]
but didn't touch. So

[00:26:10.838]
I am still enrolled in these. If I clicked into

[00:26:12.880]
it, it would just send me directly to the course page where

[00:26:15.000]
I could start watching my videos,

[00:26:17.390]
but it is kept separate. So it's not like

[00:26:19.420]
forefront when your patrons kind of click

[00:26:21.439]
in if they

[00:26:23.489]
are working on certification preparation,

[00:26:25.799]
that's actually pulled out separately here as well.

[00:26:28.180]
So the all courses is going to be

[00:26:30.328]
just courses you selected. Certification

[00:26:33.068]
prep is going to be the specific certification

[00:26:35.630]
that you're working in. You can click that

[00:26:37.979]
and go back to that main certification page

[00:26:41.250]
and you'll see what courses you currently have in progress.

[00:26:43.640]
I just have this one here.

[00:26:54.219]
Ok. Now, that's what we have today for

[00:26:56.250]
Gil presents you to me it's a nice clean resource.

[00:26:59.180]
really searching and browsing is going

[00:27:01.318]
to find your patrons the content they need.

[00:27:03.588]
We try not to hide anything. The filters on

[00:27:05.618]
the left hand side, I always recommend you point those out

[00:27:07.789]
to your patrons. It's much easier than them

[00:27:09.910]
having to kind of weed through, you know,

[00:27:12.140]
26,000 courses.

[00:27:14.250]
So definitely utilize those

[00:27:16.410]
filters on the left hand side of the screen. Those are

[00:27:18.509]
going to be really vital to make sure your patrons

[00:27:20.848]
find the information that they need.

[00:27:22.880]
Again, this is unlimited so they can take as

[00:27:24.910]
many courses as they want.

[00:27:26.750]
Um

[00:27:27.689]
It is free. They don't need to worry about paying

[00:27:30.229]
once you have your subscription, they can take the courses

[00:27:32.519]
that they want whenever they want to.

[00:27:34.380]
They are

[00:27:36.170]
of course completely virtual and they are asynchronous.

[00:27:38.529]
So they are not going to have to, you know, meet with

[00:27:41.039]
an instructor, you know, weekly.

[00:27:43.130]
These are all just recorded and ready to

[00:27:45.209]
go for them. They don't need to worry about any sort of

[00:27:47.390]
formal classroom or anything

[00:27:49.459]
like that. No,

[00:27:52.949]
I haven't seen any questions any more questions,

[00:27:55.328]
but please feel free to type in any questions

[00:27:57.338]
that you've thought of.

[00:27:58.939]
I do want to jump back here and I will

[00:28:00.949]
say I know I have one question that I need to

[00:28:03.068]
get with my product manager about related

[00:28:05.750]
to the

[00:28:06.660]
signing in with Google and Microsoft. So I will

[00:28:08.890]
get on to that

[00:28:10.689]
and email you with an answer.

[00:28:13.189]

[00:28:15.420]
