It was an excellent training. Anthony was great - energetic, thorough, friendly. We really enjoyed our three days!

One of the best sessions with D2L to date. One of the best trainers we have interacted with.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the product was explained well and the session allowed for time to practice the features that were outlined. Overall, I think it was done very effectively.

# data[].attributes.body
Anthony is very pleasant and was a joy to work with. He is very knowledgeable and helpful.

Christa Hardy was an excellent trainer and eP product expert. Would highly recommend this person for ePtraining at other institutions.

I was impressed with how well the trainer was able to keep things hands-on and have us try things by going back and forth between our sandbox and the training course.

Thank-you, very hands on. loved the layout, the user friendly program. Both instructors were amazing, very thoughtful and patient with all the different levels of learners.

Jessica is an asset to D2L.

The trainer was absolutely, hands down, one of the best trainers that I've ever experienced. She was an expert on controlling an environment when not even in the room! She knew how to ask the right questions to engage the learner and she was phenomenal at listening to the questions we had and answering them. I'm VERY impressed with her.

Great job presenting! So patient with everyone. Appreciate being able to actually do it while be trained instead of just seeing it and then being given instructions! GREAT JOB! Thank you!

James Medway did an outstanding job. His guidance and pacing of the training was top notch!

James was 5 star! I was impressed with every aspect of his presentation. I even took notes on some features of his presentation- his question mark......time countdown.....

Wow, what can I say? Anthony Gouveia was an OUTSTANDING trainer. He faced some pretty harsh criticism from entrenched cynics but always came back with a smile. In fact, I was embarrassed at how some of our faculty responded to his training. Regardless, he was patient, supportive, and listened well. Because of the opposition he encountered I think the training advanced at a slower than optimal rate, but that was in no way his fault. PLEASE keep him training. He is great at it!

"Thank you very much Anthony for the time, effort and patience. This has been my most engaging and relevant virtual training. I learned many things from the trainer, he listened well and gave further explanation whenever requested. I would like to request for a copy of all deck slides used during the sessions. All the best Anthony!"

# data[].attributes.body
"EXCELLENT training sessions! I have participated in MANY training sessions over the years and this was by far one of the BEST! Anthony did a FABULOUS job explaining the details! He has a gift for breaking down the more complicated steps by explaining each layer with wonderful analogies! He is truly a "teacher" and I feel very lucky to have had him as our trainer to begin our D2L/Brightspace adventure! Thank you!"

"I found the Trainer (James Medway) to be very engaging, informative, clear and concise and he had a lot of product knowledge to be able to deliver amazing training. I believe having a great trainer means the world, when learning about a new product/LMS system. He did an impeccable job. Everyone on the team really enjoyed the training and found it interactive."

"Anthony has been a very pro-active trainer. He engaged and established good rapport with us and covered all the relevant topics in a timely manner. The demos are relevant and the concepts were well explained. I appreciate his commitment in delivering an energetic and interactive session despite of time difference (he started the training at 7AM in his timezone). I wish there would've been more allocated time/sessions for hands-on as I'm keen to apply what I've learned from the sessions. Thank you once again Anthony! Keep up the excellent job."

"James did a good job managing the dynamic of the group remotely."

# data[].attributes.body
"Our trainer was fantastic. He was energetic and made the experience engaging. This is a small for two full days of online videoconferencing. I was extremely impressed. The only reason I listed "Moderately agree" in the last question was because there's only so much that can be covered in two days of training. This reflects no deficiency on the part of the trainer."

# data[].attributes.body
"James was a great online instructor. I have never been to a workshop that was taught in this way and did not know what to expect. I was very engaged and interested throughout the multiple days of training. I was able to follow along easily, even things that I had not tried before. Thanks so very much, James!"

# data[].attributes.body
"WOW! Remote training can often feel distant and awkward. James hosted his virtual training in such a manner that we felt he was in the room with us - that skill is worth $$$! AND he knew his material thoroughly and was able to answer just about any question. Give this guy a raise!"

It allowed me to understand the importance of ePortfolio and how to develop it in our own program (Instance).
