DCO recorded meetings as demo / training tool?

Most of the folks who read this blog are in the Coast Guard, so when we want to do screensharing for a meeting or training, we use LiveMeeting.

When we need to bring in DoD folks, or when LiveMeeting is down, I’ve reached for Defense Connect Online, and it’s a great tool. The links below require a login. If you don’t have one, Coast Guard folks can register with your CAC here:

In addition to being used for meetings, I’ve noticed several programs that are using it to record presentations and training sessions. This may be a tool we can use for a very low cost complement to face-to-face marketing and training efforts.

I scrolled through the list and picked a couple at random to take a sample of what could be done. There are several that start with GFEBS, which is the Army’s SAP implementation.

Here’s a pointer to the list of public recordings:

And here are two to give you a sense of what’s being done today with simple, available technology.

“Keys for successful execution in GFEBS”

My point isn’t to ask you to sit through two hours of someone else’s meeting, but rather to ask you to take a look to see how other programs are using the tools to extend the reach of a demonstration or of training.

Food for thought. Yum.
