Hi Training Developers, With the support of GridGain, I've done introductory mini-training about Apache Ignite. I would like to share my experience.
Registration to the event ( https://www.gridgain.com/resources/meetups/workshop-apache-ignite-settings-and-api-step-step-moscow-russia) was open and free. The feedback and atmosphere were very positive - people understood how to use the product. We've found a number of bugs in the slides, I've learned some things I should improve to make training work better. Addressing my previous experience of running and participating in commercial training I feel than customer employees come to the event, they are mostly involved (not all of them, of course) and motivated (maybe by a boss) to complete all exercises. At the free workshop, in addition to motivated users, there were also users, which were not too much motivated to complete all training labs - it's hard to learn new things, it is natural to give up at some point. Do you have any best practice on how to find a group of potential(new) users, who will be fully involved in the training process? Would it help to do some testing before training or something like that? Sincerely, Dmitriy Pavlov
