From YouTube: Monthly Continuous Learning Call 2020-10-21
Description
The Learning and Development team launched the first Monthly Continuous Learning Call to highlight all of the initiatives we have taking place within the learning and enablement space at GitLab
A
A
A
A
All
right,
I
will
go
ahead
and
kick
things
off.
It
is
10
a.m.
Eastern
standard
time-
and
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
all
for
taking
the
time
to
join
our
first
ever
all
ever
inaugural
monthly,
continuous
learning
call,
and
so
I'm
I'm
here
with
jc
and
samantha
lee,
I'm
josh
zimmerman
the
learning
and
development
partner
here
at
get
lab.
A
I'm
joined
with
a
number
of
folks
from
our
enablement
community
as
well,
and
we
thought
it
would
be
a
great
idea
to
put
together
a
monthly
sort
of
regular
call
to
highlight
all
of
the
learning
and
admit
and
development
and
enablement
initiatives
taking
place
at
get
lab.
You
know
this
is
really
an
opportunity
to
reinforce
our
culture
of
learning
here
at
gitlab,
and
this
is
an
opportunity
for
you,
as
a
gitlab
community,
to
ask
any
questions
related
to
professional
development.
You
know
growing
your
career.
A
A
No
great
question
carol,
so,
if
you
think
of
there's
an
organizational
chart
in
there
in
the
slide
deck
and
really
like
ellen
d,
jc
myself
and
samantha
work
kind
of
more
on
the
people
side
of
the
house
and
david
and
christina
yoshida
are
focused
more
on
field
enablement
and
professional
services,
enabling
our
customers
and
partners
and
sellers
to
be
able
to
sell
and
to
fulfill
the
needs
of
that
community.
So
we
work
with
them
to
provide
sort
of
organization,
wide
learning
initiatives
that
will
be
applicable
to
their
audiences.
A
C
Yeah
monthly
sinks
and
actually
more
frequent
informal
communications
just
to
look
at
yeah
aligning
our
efforts.
Yet
the
another
key
element
of
collaboration
is
with
our
new
learning
experience
platform.
So
there's
some
information
in
the
deck
there.
So
that's
a
cross-functional
team
effort,
yeah
with
lots
of
folks
at
gitlab.
Helping
to
you
know
how
can
we
implement
how
how
we
will
implement
a
learning
experience
platform
that
complements
our
handbook?
First
approach
to
learning
and
development.
D
D
It
looks
like
it's
hinging
a
little
bit
on
focus
friday
and
I
I
don't
want
to
speak
for
the
entire
sales
org,
I'm
not
equipped,
but
I
will
tell
you
that
at
least
at
a
sort
of
an
enterprise
west
team
that
I
get
a
chance
to
work
with
and
support
I've
sort
of
seen
that
I
thought
focus
fridays
were
pushed
through
the
end
of
the
summer
as
a
bit
of
a
pilot
under
the
cro
organization,
and
I'm
wondering
if
you
know
differently,
if
we've
actually
kept
those
or
if
that's
more,
of
a
corporate
initiative
now,
but
I
can
say
I
will
confess
that
my
fridays
are
no
longer
terribly
focused,
wanted
to
get
some
feedback
or
thoughts
from
you
sure.
A
Yeah
so
carol
feel
free
to
add
on
this
on
the
corporate
level,
but
I
think
we're
going
to
continue
that
initiative.
Organization-Wide.
B
Yes,
we
did
decide
and
I'm
just
wondering
what
communication
we
did
on
it
now
that
we
will
go
through
the
end
of
the
year,
so
thanks
tim
for
bringing
that
up
and-
and
I'm
just
gonna
quickly
check
it
here,.
B
C
Yes,
we
shared
screen,
that's
right,
so
I
included
a
link
I'll
put
that
in
the
agenda
doc
as
well,
but
yeah.
The
update
was
extending
it
through,
as
carolyn
mentioned
through
the
end
of
this
calendar
year
for
focus
friday,
so
not
just
summer.
A
Yeah
and
they
take
time
out
to
learn
campaign-
it's
it's
really.
You
know
it's!
It's
really
a
proactive
approach
to
just
blocking
time
on
your
calendar
to
build
new
skills.
You
know,
I
think
I
get
lab.
We
get
so
busy
with
our
day-to-day
roles.
That
sometimes
we
forget
that
hey.
Maybe
we
need
to
take
a
course
or
learn
a
new
skill
to
develop
our
ourselves
professionally.
So.
E
I
love
the
deck.
It
looks
great
that
I'm
all
about
aesthetics
and
how
it's
put
together
so
lucy
and
josh
great
great
putting
that
together,
quick
question
for
you,
both
one
of
you
or
whomever,
wants
to
answer
having
had
participated
in
the
managers
pilot
just
curious.
I
know
that
there's
another
session
coming
up
in
january.
A
Yeah,
so
I
think,
love
to
open
it
up
company
wide.
I
know
there's
some
specific
audiences
that
are
requesting
for
the
manager
training.
Specifically,
I
know
finance
and
sales.
A
You
know
want
an
iteration
of
it,
but
I
think
you
know
opening
it
up
organization
wide
if
you're
interested
in
taking
part
in
the
january
second
iteration
feel
free
to,
I
think,
there's
an
issue
in
the
deck
you
can
click
on
and
sign
up.
You
know
this
was
the
first
time
we've
ever
done
any
formalized.
You
know,
manager,
enablement,
training
at
get
lab,
and
you
know
we're.
A
F
Yeah,
that
was
sorry
about
the
noise.
F
F
Just
wondering
if
so,
there's
some
gadlabbers
that
have
significant
experience
with
different
technologies.
Like
I
see
darwin
here
and
I've
been
on
calls
with
darwin
he's
awesome
when
it
comes
to
certain
technologies.
I
was
wondering
if
there's
like
a
a
formal
way
to
transfer
that
knowledge
or
share
that
knowledge
across
other
roles
or
other
kid
levers.
Is
there
a
platform
where
this
could
happen.
A
Yeah,
I
know
that
that's
a
great
question
and
and
so
we're
implementing
a
learning
experience
platform
over
the
next
couple
of
months
here
at
get
lab,
and
that's
really
going
to
be
an
opportunity
for
all
team
members
to
be
able
to
develop.
You
know
self-service
learning,
content
that
is
handbook
first,
so
one
of
our
roles
within
the
corporate
lnd
space
is
to
enable
you
know
all
team
members
to
develop
courses
that
are
applicable
for
the
broader
community.
A
So
if
there's
you
know
around
this
topic
specifically,
if
you
want
to
partner
with
us
to
develop
a
course
develop
a
handbook
page
that
we
can
get
out
to
the
broader
community
and
feature
on
the
lxp
as
well
as
in
the
handbook.
You
know
we
can
work
with
you
to
do
that.
I
think
you
know,
as
we
shift
to
this,
you
know
learning
culture
here
at
gitlab.
We
really
want
to
enable
everybody
to
contribute
to
learning,
not
just
for
us
internally,
but
also
externally
as
well.
C
Yeah
and
I'll
just
also
add
alejandro
the
is
more
informal,
but
the
the
attempt
or
the
the
intention
of
the
customer's
success,
the
cs
skills
exchange
is,
is
some
of
that
right,
sharing
expertise
and
best
practices
of
the
community
of
customer
success.
Surely
an
opportunity
to
formalize
that
a
bit
more
so
I'll.
Take
that
as
an
action
item
to
follow
up
with
chris
reynolds
on
our
team
to
look
at
what
else
we
might
have,
or
what's
on
the
horizon,
that
aligns
with
what
you're
suggesting
there.
A
Great
thanks
for
all
the
questions
these
are.
These
are
awesome.
Darwin
you
got
the
next
one.
There.
G
I
just
wanted
to
note
I
I
did
my
own
highly
technical
courses
for
about
well
for
quite
a
while
as
a
a
solo
entrepreneur,
and
then
I've
been
involved
in
pluralsight's
editorial
process
and
there's
things
that
in
the
area
of
e-learning,
that
so
far
a
lot
of
our
materials
do
not
comply
with
that
are
really
about
engagement
and
they're,
they're,
hyper,
obsessive
about
drop-off
statistics
and
e-learning
content.
G
A
Yeah,
I
I
believe
so
I
think,
there's
there's
there
are
those
reporting
drop
off
statistics
on
the
back
end
management
of
webcasts,
and
I
think
too,
just
with
rolling
out
an
organizational-wide
learning
platform.
A
G
Yeah,
this
isn't
branding
it's
actually
engagement,
so
it
was
hard
even
as
an
experienced
instructor
going
through
their
editorial
education
and
onboarding
and
then
having
the
third
party
critiquing
of
your
content.
G
It
was
challenging,
so
I
think
it's
important
to
target
more
than
anything
audience
engagement,
because
tldr
happens
with
video
as
well
right,
so
it
doesn't
magically
overcome
tldr,
because
it's
video
too
long
did
not
read
for
anyone.
Who's
not
familiar
with
the
acronym.
G
G
Can
give
you
I
can
give
you
the
highest
level
overview
in
like
one
sentence.
Progressive,
progressive
disclosure
is
what
differentiates
mobile
apps
from
those
old
nasty
desktop
apps,
where
there's
5
000
choices
on
one
screen
and
training
needs
to
have
progressive
disclosure.
So
in
technical
training
we
have
frequently
have
very
complicated
diagrams.
That
must
actually
be
viewed
as
a
complete
thing
at
the
end
in
order
for
you
to
get
it,
but
it
should
not
be
thrown
on
the
screen
that
way.
G
This
is
like
the
number
one
principle
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
other
stuff,
but
taking
the
time
to
animate
it
so
that
you
unpack
the
story
retain
control.
The
narrative
will
both
increase
attention,
engagement
and
on
long-term
understanding
as
well.
So
we
can't
get
away
from
complex,
visuals
and
technical
training,
but
we
can
make
progressively
reveal
them
when
we
deliver,
and
that
was
the
big
thing
at
pluralsight
too,
is.
G
G
For
proper
progressiveness
of
the
content,
but
yes
I
can,
I
can
definitely
be
resource.
I
don't
want
to
take
too
much
more
time
in
the
meeting,
but
I
can
definitely
be
a
resource
in
in
helping
within
the
you
know,
both
the
neurological
aspects
of
training
formulation
and
how
to
keep
an
audience
engaged
when
you're
not
in
a
live
context.
For
sure.
A
Yeah,
no,
that
would
be
great.
I
think
I
put
a
link
in
the
hand
in
the
chat
as
well.
Just
on
our
you
know.
This
is
kind
of
spearheaded
by
david
summers
organization,
but
a
handbook
first
approach
to
interactive
content
and
that's
really
up
leveling.
You
know
our
our
ways
of
how
we
engage
the
community
with
our
learning
content
to
make
it
more
interactive,
because
you
know
standalone
text
handbook
reading
the
handbook.
Sometimes
that's
not
the
that's,
not
how
everybody
learns
right
so
making
things
a
little
bit
more
engaging
for.
G
Everybody
yeah,
the
only
qualifier
I'd
add,
is
that
an
average
content
creator
who
knows
how
to
use
slide
software
can
animate
it
and
get
to
that
level
quite
easily.
As
soon
as
you
get
into
interactivity
authoring
now
you
need
someone
a
lot
more
skills
to
get
there
and
to
know
how
to
pedagogically,
formulate
it
correctly,
but
just
getting
it
so
you
say:
hey
you
got
this
great
big
diagram.
All
we
need
you
to
do
is
to
unpack
it
visually
as
well
as
audibly
that
that
I
can
put
together
enablement
session
on
how
to
quickly
animate.
G
You
know
a
big
visual,
but
interactivity
is
great
as
well
when
people
need
it,
but
that
it's
that
makes
it
that
that's
the
authoring
level,
where
you
kind
of
go
off
a
cliff
as
far
as
authoring
skills
required
to
do
that
from
our
greater
community
of
say,
technical
enablers,
people
who
like
to
do
this
kind
of
thing.
G
So
it's
called
progressive
disclosure,
it's
hard
to
find,
if
you,
if
you,
if
you,
google,
cognitive
load
and
training
or
anything,
I
I'm
actually.
I
was
just
yesterday
trying
to
piece
this
together
because
of
something
else
that
hit
my
radar
but
basically
progressive
disclosure.
G
So
all
all
the
presenter
has
to
do
is
take
control
of
the
narrative
by
only
putting
on
the
screen
what
they
want
to
talk
about
and
building
out
that
final,
visual
and
so
cognitive
loads.
Another
concept:
you
can
google
to
find
out
more
about
this,
and
then
I
found
a
really
good
article
that
talked
about
different
kinds
of
illustrations
and
how
they
have
promising
and
non-promising
e-learning
potential.
A
No,
that's
really,
that's
really
helpful.
I
think
we'll
I'd
love
to
set
up
the
time
with
you
just
to
learn.
More
of
you
know
your
background
and
kind
of
how
we
confuse
that
into
the
broader
learning
content
here
at
gitlab.
G
C
We
have
really
good
input
and
darwin,
if
there's
to
help
it
make
it
tangible.
If
there's
a
specific
example
that
comes
to
mind
is
like
hey,
if
you
just
did
a
few
of
these
things
differently,
totally
open
to
suggestions
and
absolutely
agree
that
there's
opportunity
to
make
things
more
consumable
and
easier
to
digest.
G
G
The
other
thing,
too,
is
that
learning
cycle
in
the
current
powerpoint
doesn't
acknowledge
the
fact
that
when
content
is
e-learning,
people
can
come
back
and
do
phase
one
two
and
then
go
straight
to
six
again
and
again,
because
you've
got
it
online.
It's
one
of
the
powers
of
video
training
over
classroom
training
is,
you
can
just
go
watch
just
a
bit
and
then
go
straight
to
practice
long
after
you
take
a
course
right.
So
if
you
construct
it
correctly,
it'll
be
very
highly
usable
that
way.
G
G
F
G
H
Yeah
yeah,
thank
you.
So
I
was,
I
was
just
looking
through
the
deck
I
slide.
Eight
is
really
interesting,
like
the
gitlab
learner
experience
and
that
like
70
2010
breakdown,
so
I
was
just
curious
if
you
could
just
elaborate
a
little
bit
more
on
that
and
like
kind
of
in
you
know,
in
a
put
it
to
practice
way
of
like
how.
How
would
you
you
know
an
ideal
way?
How
should
get
lab
team
members
really
embrace
that
that
ratio
in
their
day-to-day
work.
A
That's
not
when
learning
occurs,
all
the
time,
so
learning
happens
every
day
every
hour,
especially
at
gitlab,
just
because
we
move
so
fast,
and
I
think
when
you
implement
it
into
your
day-to-day
role,
you
know
when
you're
thinking
about
upskilling
your
skills
being
able
to
say.
Oh,
you
know
what
I
took
part
in
an
ama
to
learn
new
something
new,
just
taking
a
tally
of
all
those
events
that
you've
been
a
part
of
throughout
your
time.
Here.
I
Thank
you
josh,
and
thank
you
both
for
doing
this.
I
just
love
that
the
focus
on
learning
is
amped
up
since
you
joined
the
team
and
just
kind
of
piggybacking
on
what
david
summers
and
team
has
already
implemented.
So
my
question
is
a
follow-up
to
monica's
question
about
learning
styles.
I
love
slide
8.
It's
great
love
to
see
that,
but
I'm
wondering
are
we
going
to
flush
this
out
further
in
terms
of
looking
into
cultural
learning,
styles
learning
by
gender
or
anything
like
that.
A
Yeah,
I
definitely,
I
definitely
think
so.
I
think
you
know
the
cultural
aspect
as
well
as
like
generational
as
well.
You
know,
I
think
you
know
I'm
a
millennial.
I
might
learn
differently
than
somebody
who's.
You
know
maybe
been
in
the
workforce.
Much
longer,
I
think,
applying
those
different
threads
to
our
learning
content
majority
of
our
the
way
we
learn
things
at
gitlab
is
very
like
text
based
right.
It's
in
the
handbook.
The
handbook
is
the
primary
method,
but
not
everybody
learns
new
skills
that
way.
A
I
A
And
I
think
we're
already
kind
of
doing
that
a
little
bit
just
through
like
some
introductions
of
new
animation
videos,
micro
learning
bringing
in
the
lxp
which
will
allow
team
members
to
access
learning
on
their
own
time.
So
I
think
we're
starting
to
do
that.
A
little
bit
great
thanks,
josh,
thanks
lorna.
I
know
we
got
four
minutes
left.
I
want
to
keep
everybody
on
time
there.
G
Yeah
I'll
be
brief.
Just
I
find
that
sales
meetings
are
not
marketing.
We
use,
we
tend
to
use
marketing
materials
which
are
for
the
slides
that
we
use
in
sales
meetings,
but
I
really
feel
they're
learning
engagements,
because
we
have
a
small
group
wanting
to
learn
more
peel
back
the
covers,
and
so,
and
especially
you
can't
in
a
demo,
easily
show
the
overarching
processes
of
all
the
pieces.
G
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
think
this
effort
could
also
extend
to
there
to
him
to
imply
or
to
assert
if
it's
you
know
if
it's
found
to
be
true,
assert
that
those
those
situations
should
have
a
learning
materials
focus.
An
engagement
like
a
video,
as
opposed
to
the
kind
of
stuff
that
we
put
on
the
marketing
site,
which
does
not
neces,
does
not
necessarily
have
to
have
the
same
level
of
interactivity
or
engagement
management,
so
to
speak.
A
A
All
right:
well,
if
you
have
any
sort
of
there's
anything
you
want
to
talk
about,
and
you
know
maybe
in
the
next
l
d,
continuous
learning
call
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
us.
We
can,
we
can
add
it
to
the
agenda
and
you
know
be
a
sponsor
of
learning

getlab

you
want
to
learn
more,

and
development

appreciate
you
all
joining
us
this
morning,.
