- [00:00:03.600]Thank you guys so much for choosing our speed round today
- [00:00:07.350]at NU Amplify 2021,
- [00:00:10.340]Alyssa, Danielle and I are so excited to shed some light
- [00:00:14.340]on how to manage work from home teams
- [00:00:17.000]when work from home seems unmanageable.
- [00:00:20.190]So we're gonna go ahead and get started.
- [00:00:23.350]In the spring of 2020,
- [00:00:25.246]75% of people said they feel more socially isolated,
- [00:00:29.940]67% of people reported a higher stress rate,
- [00:00:34.390]57% are feeling greater anxiety,
- [00:00:37.850]and 53% are more emotionally exhausted.
- [00:00:41.380]So what does isolation, stress, anxiety
- [00:00:45.430]and emotional exhaustion all have in common?
- [00:00:48.520]Well, they seem to creep up when remote work is involved.
- [00:00:52.170]What if I told you
- [00:00:53.860]that you can work from home without those things
- [00:00:56.350]and still live a healthy, balanced life.
- [00:00:59.430]2020 was a year of growth,
- [00:01:01.500]navigating uncharted waters
- [00:01:03.280]and becoming comfortable in a virtual setting
- [00:01:05.890]that would otherwise be face to face.
- [00:01:08.680]Today, we are going to navigate the many roadblocks
- [00:01:11.560]that employees and managers alike
- [00:01:13.640]face in the remote work world.
- [00:01:16.550]We will help you create tools to manage projects
- [00:01:19.390]as an individual or as a team
- [00:01:22.030]and then we will share with you what works best for us
- [00:01:25.300]and maybe that will spark some ideas
- [00:01:27.190]to take those tools back to the office wherever that may be.
- [00:01:31.990]We need to first identify some challenges
- [00:01:34.510]or what I like to call roadblocks
- [00:01:37.090]that you and your managers have probably faced
- [00:01:39.410]while working from home.
- [00:01:40.950]We will break these off into three sections.
- [00:01:44.270]Those are, challenges with yourself,
- [00:01:46.840]challenges with coworkers or outside entities
- [00:01:49.750]and then challenges with the work itself.
- [00:01:53.300]Challenges with yourself while working from home
- [00:01:56.190]are things like lack of motivation,
- [00:01:58.760]fear of missing out,
- [00:02:00.110]finding a creative outlet,
- [00:02:02.330]finding work-life balance,
- [00:02:04.000]maintaining focus and managing distractions.
- [00:02:07.200]It's extremely easy when working from home
- [00:02:10.810]to just work all the time.
- [00:02:13.500]We also find ourselves having challenges
- [00:02:15.670]with our co-workers or outside entities
- [00:02:18.510]like caring for our employees
- [00:02:21.650]when others in their family are sick
- [00:02:23.780]or when the mental health is declining
- [00:02:26.190]because of disasters like COVID.
- [00:02:29.670]The last challenge is that we see our work declining
- [00:02:32.190]because of the lack of motivation
- [00:02:33.840]that we would otherwise see in the office space
- [00:02:36.430]or when we're around our co-workers.
- [00:02:38.880]Whether we've realize it or not,
- [00:02:41.200]we push each other when in a physical setting
- [00:02:43.670]to get things done and be productive.
- [00:02:54.550]Now that we've outlined the roadblocks
- [00:02:56.410]that often appear on a team's path to success,
- [00:02:59.390]let's talk about the role communication plays
- [00:03:01.450]in a team success
- [00:03:02.840]and some tools that can help you and your team
- [00:03:05.290]achieve a balanced level of communication.
- [00:03:08.000]Because remote teams work in a variety of environments,
- [00:03:11.140]members should be highly aware
- [00:03:12.680]of two forms of communication.
- [00:03:15.160]The first form is asynchronous.
- [00:03:17.350]This includes any form of communication
- [00:03:19.370]that doesn't happen in real time
- [00:03:21.280]where responses can occur intermittently.
- [00:03:23.920]The best example of this type of communication is email.
- [00:03:27.840]The second form is synchronous.
- [00:03:30.090]This is the most common form of communication
- [00:03:32.220]in a traditional workplace
- [00:03:34.160]where the communication happens in real time
- [00:03:36.500]with immediate responses.
- [00:03:38.380]The best example of this type of communication
- [00:03:41.020]would be in-person meetings.
- [00:03:43.440]As companies and organizations have evolved,
- [00:03:45.840]our communication patterns have become more hybrid
- [00:03:48.640]where asynchronous and synchronous communication
- [00:03:51.360]co-exist within teams.
- [00:03:53.820]Managers should be the ones to determine the type
- [00:03:56.310]and blend of communication
- [00:03:58.090]that will work best for their team.
- [00:03:59.980]It's also important to note
- [00:04:01.410]that there should be a comfortable balance between the two.
- [00:04:05.200]Last year our team navigated a fully remote work environment
- [00:04:08.720]as well as a flexible work environment.
- [00:04:11.190]While we had tools in place
- [00:04:12.500]that provided a foundation for success,
- [00:04:14.840]we found additional tools and resources
- [00:04:17.010]that allowed us to further our goals,
- [00:04:19.010]both individually and as a team.
- [00:04:22.130]The image on this slide provides a quick glance
- [00:04:24.440]of these tools and where they fall on the synchronous,
- [00:04:27.600]asynchronous communication map.
- [00:04:29.890]So first we have our synchronous tools that were used
- [00:04:32.600]and this includes Zoom meetings.
- [00:04:35.050]Then we have semi-synchronous tools
- [00:04:37.270]which included our Outlook Calendar and email,
- [00:04:41.450]and also Calendly which we'll touch on in a little bit.
- [00:04:44.920]And finally, asynchronous tools
- [00:04:46.970]which included the Zoom chat
- [00:04:48.660]where members of our team
- [00:04:49.670]would drop a line throughout the day
- [00:04:51.200]as they're working on projects
- [00:04:52.940]and Trello which was our project management system.
- [00:04:56.150]Now, Alyssa will describe each tool that I introduced
- [00:04:59.090]to give you a better idea of how they function.
- [00:05:04.880]Yeah, thanks Danielle.
- [00:05:06.320]As Danielle mentioned, my name's Alyssa Wyant.
- [00:05:08.400]During this time during the pandemic,
- [00:05:09.850]I took over as the interim director of eCampus at UNK
- [00:05:13.317]and at the time we had 15 employees
- [00:05:15.670]that were sent to work from home
- [00:05:17.480]without any tools or resources
- [00:05:20.130]that we didn't have in the face-to-face setting already,
- [00:05:22.850]so we're gonna walk through several different tools
- [00:05:25.040]that work from home teams might utilize.
- [00:05:27.480]We'll take an in-depth look at four
- [00:05:28.850]and show you exactly how we utilize these
- [00:05:30.890]to manage our team
- [00:05:32.150]all while working either entirely remotely
- [00:05:34.330]or in some kind of a flexible format.
- [00:05:36.540]So Trello is the first platform that we're gonna look at,
- [00:05:39.320]and Trello is a web based project management system
- [00:05:42.080]that utilizes lists to execute your tasks.
- [00:05:44.550]So we'll break this down in more detail
- [00:05:45.940]in the slides to come,
- [00:05:47.060]but Trello really helps to provide
- [00:05:49.010]the virtual workplace environment
- [00:05:51.000]by really enhancing flexibility,
- [00:05:53.160]project management, accessibility,
- [00:05:55.400]communication, accountability,
- [00:05:57.370]and it of course reduces email.
- [00:05:58.830]So on the current slide,
- [00:05:59.900]you can see a general demo setup
- [00:06:01.310]of what a project management word
- [00:06:03.060]could potentially look like,
- [00:06:04.130]you can completely customize it
- [00:06:05.850]to whatever your needs are as a business
- [00:06:08.420]and institution, whatever you're running.
- [00:06:11.810]So this helps our team to really create
- [00:06:13.500]their initial to-do task,
- [00:06:14.710]hold themselves and each other accountable
- [00:06:16.380]and create that hands-off approach
- [00:06:17.820]while still enabling a high level view
- [00:06:19.920]of where projects were at
- [00:06:21.060]and an overall progression to the completion point.
- [00:06:23.970]So each column is customized list
- [00:06:26.030]that allows for endless possibilities of organization
- [00:06:28.560]and each column has cards
- [00:06:29.940]that can be customized into projects or tasks.
- [00:06:32.410]So those cards can be actively
- [00:06:34.250]traveling throughout the platform
- [00:06:35.460]by simply clicking and dragging,
- [00:06:37.180]and each action taken on the card
- [00:06:38.720]is tracked throughout the notifications manager
- [00:06:40.830]as kind of a document piece.
- [00:06:42.590]So this slide is gonna demonstrate
- [00:06:44.020]the enhanced communication
- [00:06:45.380]that Trello brought to our team's virtual environment.
- [00:06:47.900]So instead of clogging up our emails
- [00:06:49.590]with maybe some pointless,
- [00:06:51.260]this looks good or okay,
- [00:06:53.660]these cards provided communication
- [00:06:55.670]that was back and forth
- [00:06:56.503]regarding a specific project or topic
- [00:06:58.850]and people could respond when it was convenient for them
- [00:07:01.200]instead of interrupting their day in and out.
- [00:07:04.100]This eliminated that back and forth with your team,
- [00:07:07.060]it allowed the team to focus on projects when they chose to
- [00:07:10.230]and it allowed for cross team communication
- [00:07:12.380]enhancing that overall team environment
- [00:07:14.450]from a virtual standpoint.
- [00:07:16.010]So communications are stamped with the time and date
- [00:07:18.160]and then logged in the notification manager
- [00:07:20.060]which you can see on this slide.
- [00:07:21.910]So while our team saw several benefits from this tool,
- [00:07:25.490]highlights from it included the flexibility,
- [00:07:28.750]you can view Trello in a calendar look,
- [00:07:31.320]you can view it in cards
- [00:07:32.930]that are assigned to each individual,
- [00:07:35.240]you can even look at it from an overall standpoint
- [00:07:38.380]from a projects.
- [00:07:39.640]So the other part is just
- [00:07:41.530]the general project management,
- [00:07:43.240]it's accessible.
- [00:07:44.510]This can actually be access to via a computer,
- [00:07:48.340]it can be accessed via cell phone or an iPad,
- [00:07:52.020]whatever device you have at the time
- [00:07:53.760]that you're thinking of that specific project,
- [00:07:55.470]you can access it.
- [00:07:56.970]It also, like I said, provided enhanced communication.
- [00:08:00.210]Our team was communicating more on those projects,
- [00:08:02.930]we saw cross team communication,
- [00:08:04.670]teams were working together
- [00:08:05.790]that typically wouldn't work together,
- [00:08:07.750]and we also saw a really good supervisor
- [00:08:10.060]to employee communication.
- [00:08:12.050]I know for me going home in that remote environment,
- [00:08:14.760]trying to manage 15 new employees,
- [00:08:16.750]some of which I had never managed was a challenge
- [00:08:18.860]and having something that was a little bit
- [00:08:20.990]more of a hands-off approach
- [00:08:22.170]while still allowing me to be involved
- [00:08:23.900]and engaged as a manager
- [00:08:25.490]was very, very helpful to know and understand where
- [00:08:28.840]those projects were at and understanding
- [00:08:31.060]what work was being completed in a remote environment.
- [00:08:34.480]So another one of the things
- [00:08:36.020]that we noticed during the height of the pandemic
- [00:08:37.780]was suddenly we were having even more meetings
- [00:08:39.790]than we've ever had before,
- [00:08:41.160]it seemed like everybody wanted to Zoom
- [00:08:43.070]at any time of the day, any given night.
- [00:08:45.780]So to eliminate that back and forth
- [00:08:47.750]of scheduling the meetings
- [00:08:48.950]and spending time looking through our calendars
- [00:08:51.250]to fine those convenient times to meet,
- [00:08:53.690]our team implemented a tool called Calendly.
- [00:08:56.380]And what Calendly is,
- [00:08:57.720]is it serves as an online scheduling assistant,
- [00:08:59.730]so a great way to think of this is an office associate
- [00:09:01.990]that maybe would be scheduling your appointments for you,
- [00:09:04.760]but this is all done virtually,
- [00:09:06.050]it's done in this cool platform that we have.
- [00:09:08.280]So Calendly serves, it's where you can sync your calendar
- [00:09:12.910]and it allows your meeting attendees
- [00:09:14.380]to really select the time that works best for them
- [00:09:16.710]within an available time that you're setting for them.
- [00:09:20.010]They can identify how long of a meeting they need with you,
- [00:09:22.540]and when students or colleagues click in your Calendly link,
- [00:09:25.190]they're gonna see this screen right here.
- [00:09:27.180]And with this,
- [00:09:28.090]this image shows the time duration options
- [00:09:30.470]available that would be on my calendar.
- [00:09:32.100]So here I'm allowing for 15, 30 and an hour long meetings.
- [00:09:36.630]So this is really nice,
- [00:09:37.500]they can go in and just click whatever works best for them.
- [00:09:40.920]To access this, I just need to give them my link for
- [00:09:44.120]a secure time to meet with me
- [00:09:45.820]and our team put these links and our signatures
- [00:09:48.230]to eliminate even more back and forth,
- [00:09:50.530]allowing faculty, other staff members,
- [00:09:53.140]and even students to schedule appointments
- [00:09:54.820]when it was most convenient for them
- [00:09:56.850]and to meet them where they were at.
- [00:09:59.190]So once your attendees selects a date
- [00:10:01.220]that they're wanting to meet,
- [00:10:02.640]Calendly looks at what time slots you have available
- [00:10:04.890]within that given timeframe on your calendar
- [00:10:07.770]and when you're allowing meetings,
- [00:10:09.910]so if you don't want a meeting from
- [00:10:12.700]noon to 1:00 because you're gonna go lunch
- [00:10:15.000]or you have another event planned or an appointment,
- [00:10:17.730]you can block that out
- [00:10:18.700]and it's only gonna show up what
- [00:10:19.980]you're telling your calendar is available for meetings.
- [00:10:22.870]Once an attendee selects that appointment time,
- [00:10:24.770]you and the attendee will get email notifications,
- [00:10:27.220]and it's automatically added to both of your calendars
- [00:10:29.740]as a calendar invite.
- [00:10:32.090]So a really nice smooth thing here.
- [00:10:34.250]Overall are benefits,
- [00:10:36.250]it's really simple.
- [00:10:37.570]It provided the pain of scheduling meetings
- [00:10:39.930]that went away for us but it also provided
- [00:10:43.230]us to have several types of different meetings
- [00:10:44.960]including those times that I mentioned,
- [00:10:46.810]various topics,
- [00:10:48.700]we're able to set up things with vendors
- [00:10:50.530]or students or faculty, whatever that may look like.
- [00:10:53.690]And of course, more importantly,
- [00:10:55.210]it eliminated the need for multiple emails back and forth,
- [00:10:57.580]trying to figure out what actually works for people to me.
- [00:11:00.800]So our team was also one of the millions
- [00:11:03.110]throughout the pandemic that utilized Zoom for meetings,
- [00:11:04.960]we've said this several times,
- [00:11:06.130]I feel like many of us are experts in Zoom now,
- [00:11:08.910]but we took things one step further
- [00:11:10.480]utilizing the Zoom chat feature.
- [00:11:13.280]Our associate director for digital learning spaces helped
- [00:11:15.800]our group gets set up with small teams
- [00:11:18.940]as well as one big overall arching team channels
- [00:11:22.590]and these channels are made for chats.
- [00:11:25.620]This helped develop a sense of community
- [00:11:27.690]with those real time discussions
- [00:11:29.720]and it allowed for easy access to team members
- [00:11:32.140]and the ability to keep everybody informed at the same time.
- [00:11:35.220]So everybody's receiving information simultaneously,
- [00:11:38.570]nobody's feeling left out
- [00:11:40.030]and still creating those communications between one another.
- [00:11:43.490]So in this slide,
- [00:11:44.420]the image on the left is gonna demonstrate
- [00:11:46.010]how that chat function works,
- [00:11:47.810]allowing for direct communication.
- [00:11:50.130]It allows for you to do quick replies, drop emojis,
- [00:11:53.330]you can see on this chat we've thumbs uped something.
- [00:11:57.540]You can also drop in certain files,
- [00:11:59.630]so you can attach a file to that chat
- [00:12:01.490]allowing for those files to get there quicker
- [00:12:05.210]and several other things,
- [00:12:06.930]but Zoom provided that sense of accountability
- [00:12:09.130]for us as well.
- [00:12:10.220]And on the right side of the screen, by each contact,
- [00:12:12.970]you can see if your coworkers are online,
- [00:12:15.720]if there away,
- [00:12:16.650]if there may be accessing it from a cell phone,
- [00:12:19.150]or if they're in a meeting which was really nice,
- [00:12:21.000]it kind of made a sense of like
- [00:12:22.300]we're all in the office together.
- [00:12:24.470]So overall we saw several benefits from the Zoom channel,
- [00:12:27.810]but it enhanced communication,
- [00:12:29.800]and that I feel like
- [00:12:30.633]was one of the biggest benefits for our team,
- [00:12:32.990]especially being in a remote environment
- [00:12:34.690]where we're missing some of those coffee conversations or
- [00:12:38.250]around the water cooler, whatever the case may be.
- [00:12:41.270]Other benefits included,
- [00:12:43.740]that it allowed for obviously the sense of the community,
- [00:12:46.410]real time discussions,
- [00:12:48.340]we were able to talk about things in real time
- [00:12:50.530]instead of waiting back and forth for an email,
- [00:12:52.350]if you just had a quick question,
- [00:12:53.590]it was something easy to send out,
- [00:12:56.210]quick and easy access to keep all team members informed,
- [00:12:58.730]if there was something really urgent,
- [00:13:00.080]it was easy to drop in the chat
- [00:13:01.350]and let everybody know at the same time,
- [00:13:03.450]oftentimes we saw things like new programs being developed
- [00:13:06.630]or something that happened with a course
- [00:13:08.120]if maybe a course wasn't open
- [00:13:09.870]or didn't move online correctly,
- [00:13:11.390]whatever the case is we were able to drop it there.
- [00:13:14.160]It also provided that accountability aspect
- [00:13:16.680]that I mentioned and of course, again, less email,
- [00:13:18.690]we all love that.
- [00:13:20.570]That was another big benefit for us.
- [00:13:24.350]The easiest form of communication
- [00:13:26.900]that maybe you've thought about before
- [00:13:28.310]and that you probably actively used to schedule appointments
- [00:13:31.150]but maybe just haven't used it to a maximum,
- [00:13:34.620]I guess size or really expanded on it
- [00:13:37.850]is that traditional Outlook Calendar.
- [00:13:39.540]So other platforms would work like if you wanted to use
- [00:13:43.010]Gmail or Yahoo,
- [00:13:45.080]whatever calendar could be utilized,
- [00:13:46.940]but our team has been using Outlook
- [00:13:49.690]in a face to face workplace,
- [00:13:51.200]so it was a one less
- [00:13:52.400]technology challenge for us to learn going forward.
- [00:13:56.270]Outlook has the capability to really go in
- [00:13:58.370]and share your calendar with your colleagues
- [00:14:00.620]and they can see full details
- [00:14:01.840]so they can see what's on your calendar,
- [00:14:03.650]you can see what's on theirs.
- [00:14:05.470]In this slide,
- [00:14:06.303]you can see how I've been able to bring up my calendar
- [00:14:07.920]and my colleagues to see what appointments we both had.
- [00:14:10.750]Items in this slide have obviously been blacked out
- [00:14:13.040]to protect the student's privacy
- [00:14:14.410]because we do have some students that are listed on there,
- [00:14:17.320]but you can understand what that concept looks like.
- [00:14:20.020]So what does this do?
- [00:14:21.430]It creates that sense of trust and accountability,
- [00:14:23.240]we all know what we're working on,
- [00:14:24.920]what we're meeting with people on,
- [00:14:26.750]and we can see when we're meeting with people.
- [00:14:28.910]It provides that sense of transparency within the team.
- [00:14:32.670]Our team utilized this prior to this pandemic
- [00:14:35.080]but this easily integrated too with Calendly,
- [00:14:38.410]so then we're going back to that other tool,
- [00:14:40.230]it reads your calendar what's already scheduled
- [00:14:42.280]so you can see.
- [00:14:43.380]So it provides that ease of scheduling.
- [00:14:46.570]I'm gonna pass this back off to Danielle.
- [00:14:49.110]Danielle is gonna give you just kind of a short recap
- [00:14:51.740]of what we've covered today
- [00:14:53.330]and really review with you
- [00:14:54.480]how you can take it back to the workplace and apply it.
- [00:15:03.940]At this time, organizations are shifting back
- [00:15:06.820]into a more traditional work environment
- [00:15:09.030]or determining what type of hybrid model
- [00:15:11.520]will work best for productivity.
- [00:15:13.800]For some the opportunity to try fully remote work,
- [00:15:17.030]increased trust and comfort
- [00:15:19.080]between supervisors and employees
- [00:15:21.430]allowing for an extension over remote work environment.
- [00:15:24.890]For those who can not sustain a remote work environment
- [00:15:28.190]or those who believe
- [00:15:29.350]that in-office work is the best choice moving forward,
- [00:15:32.450]I hope you will consider the following lessons
- [00:15:34.630]that we gained from our time at home.
- [00:15:37.150]For our team, a variety of tools
- [00:15:39.130]truly provided enhanced overall communication.
- [00:15:42.400]This allowed us to create and work in an environment
- [00:15:45.380]where each member felt valued and encouraged.
- [00:15:49.400]Understanding overall team strengths
- [00:15:51.300]is crucial to success.
- [00:15:53.110]For our team,
- [00:15:54.030]having a broad view of our team's strengths
- [00:15:56.450]allowed individuals within our team to thrive.
- [00:16:00.550]If you're a manager,
- [00:16:01.950]take the time to enhance
- [00:16:03.170]each of your team members technology proficiency
- [00:16:05.840]early and often,
- [00:16:07.620]this will allow your team to be nimble
- [00:16:09.350]if you need to transition back
- [00:16:10.990]into a work from home environment.
- [00:16:13.760]The final takeaway I'd like to share today
- [00:16:15.750]is the importance of team adaptability,
- [00:16:18.320]and it is perhaps the most important.
- [00:16:21.030]Embracing an environment
- [00:16:22.210]with enhanced and welcomed adaptability
- [00:16:24.660]will empower your team to accomplish tasks
- [00:16:27.310]in a more effective and efficient manner
- [00:16:29.750]regardless of the circumstance.
- [00:16:33.090]Thank you for attending our session today.
- [00:16:34.860]If you have questions,
- [00:16:36.170]feel free to drop them in the chat or send us an email.
- [00:16:39.370]We'd love to talk with you more about our experience
- [00:16:41.700]and what has worked for us
- [00:16:43.360]in the work from home environment.
- [00:16:53.190]Thank you so much for your presentation.
- [00:16:56.290]If you have a question,
- [00:16:57.900]you can either put it in the chat
- [00:17:00.120]or if you click the reaction button along the bottom,
- [00:17:03.270]you can raise your hand and ask the question live.
- [00:17:10.520]Yes, this was a lot of info, this is really great
- [00:17:13.180]for using a lot of tools for your work from home teams.
- [00:17:25.568]I'll ask a question
- [00:17:26.940]while everyone else is formulating theirs.
- [00:17:30.550]What do you think will change as people come back to campus?
- [00:17:38.730]Yeah, Grace, thank you, I can take that question.
- [00:17:41.210]We've obviously already seen a lot of changes but,
- [00:17:44.650]one thing we have noticed is a lot of the tools that we
- [00:17:47.350]took into the remote environment,
- [00:17:48.840]we still continue to use because of the convenience
- [00:17:51.190]and ease that we saw from it.
- [00:17:54.030]Several times in that I know,
- [00:17:55.760]I'm sure everybody heard us mention,
- [00:17:57.650]it eliminates email and I think we're all always looking
- [00:18:00.220]for less and less emails so we can focus on the meat
- [00:18:02.800]of the email that really matters,
- [00:18:04.810]not just the simple ones
- [00:18:05.930]and those things that are
- [00:18:08.380]you know, ones that we'll take with us so,
- [00:18:10.530]we still have Calendly implemented,
- [00:18:13.550]we still use the zoom chat to an extent,
- [00:18:15.760]probably not as much,
- [00:18:16.880]that's probably the one that we haven't used as much,
- [00:18:19.490]Trello we were using in
- [00:18:21.820]the face-to-face environment prior to the pandemic
- [00:18:25.400]but we have still heavily utilized that
- [00:18:27.510]and I think in fact, we're bringing on more teams into that,
- [00:18:31.330]you know, I don't know if there will be a lot that changes,
- [00:18:34.790]if anything, I think we'll bring in more technology
- [00:18:37.250]that we have practiced during the pandemic.
- [00:18:44.240]Thank you, and Mark, did I see you raise your hand?
- [00:18:52.500]Okay, it looks like,
- [00:18:54.230]what are the advantages of Calendly
- [00:18:56.620]over Outlook Scheduling Assistant from Linda?
- [00:19:01.870]That's a good idea.
- [00:19:03.280]I haven't used the Outlook Scheduling Assistant as much,
- [00:19:06.120]Calendly, I like it because we can share our link with
- [00:19:09.900]each individual that wants it,
- [00:19:11.130]we can also put it on student emails,
- [00:19:13.940]so if students are wanting or our advisors,
- [00:19:16.980]any of our advisors or online coordinators
- [00:19:18.900]is what we call them at UNK,
- [00:19:20.610]if they are wanting to schedule advising appointments,
- [00:19:23.250]they can just send them out and whenever the student
- [00:19:25.790]sees that and it's convenient for them,
- [00:19:27.300]they can click to go ahead and schedule.
- [00:19:29.220]I don't know if Outlook Scheduling Assistant
- [00:19:31.250]has that capability.
- [00:19:33.280]The other piece of Calendly that we haven't tapped into yet
- [00:19:36.350]is customized responses.
- [00:19:38.599]Calendly does have the capability
- [00:19:40.440]once a meeting is scheduled,
- [00:19:42.330]they will get that email invite,
- [00:19:44.430]but then there could also be a customized response to that,
- [00:19:47.120]so for example if you wanted to
- [00:19:49.040]have an advising session with a student
- [00:19:50.650]and you wanted them to prepare three different things,
- [00:19:52.940]you could put that in the email,
- [00:19:54.520]a really specific thing
- [00:19:55.830]of what you're wanting them to complete
- [00:19:57.210]in different action items so
- [00:19:58.910]that would I think be one benefit that we see with Calendly
- [00:20:01.450]versus Outlook Scheduling Assistant.
