Tips and Tricks 08: Smarter ways to manage your training content

With the recent advancements of cloud-based training systems, instructors today can create courses that are more cost-efficient and distribute them to a larger audience. Similarly, offering cloud storage and online content collaboration within an e-learning solution eliminates the need for additional course development tools. In this tips and tricks post, learn how efficient content management helps trainers with added flexibility, fine-tuned controls, and affordability in the online training environment.


 
Use ShowTime's library to manage your content:

Whenever you upload a file from your computer to be used in a ShowTime session, the file gets added to your account library automatically. You can even create, customize, and save polls in the library that can be used for future sessions. This saves you the hassle of recreating polls, and presenting content across multiple sessions becomes easier. The library also stores your session recordings, which you can share with your learners in a single click.
 


For remote sessions, materials can be uploaded in the formats PDF, PPT, PPTX and all video formats. For On Demand sessions, ShowTime supports PDF and all video formats that can be added to a session.
 
Access and upload materials from Zoho WorkDrive:

Zoho WorkDrive is a content collaboration platform designed for teams to store, share, manage, and work together on files of any size. If you always seem to be running out of storage space or have trouble keeping everything organized in ShowTime, WorkDrive's expandable storage will help you manage your course modules and training materials even more efficiently. All your training data, including multimedia materials like images and videos, can be directly uploaded to WorkDrive. This frees up additional storage for the entire team in your ShowTime library.
 


ShowTime has improved encryption protection to keep all your uploaded data safe. Trainers in your organization can share files and ideas remotely without having to worry about data being lost or stolen. For the files that are uploaded to WorkDrive, you can even set expiration dates and access restrictions to keep your content private and secure.

Cloud storage can improve your professional development, and it's accessible for any training organization, regardless of size or budget. It also has enhanced security, virtually limitless storage, and the ability to expand with your learning and development needs. We hope ShowTime's secure library and the integration with WorkDrive helps you easily organize your course materials as virtual training continues to become more popular.
