Today’s conversation kicked off with Anthony Altieri sharing some information about the American Red Cross and how folks can get involved in helping victims of Hurricane Harvey. He emphasized that it’s not just about donations, but you can get involved with your time and go to Houston and help rebuild IT infrastructure. Anthony wrapped up by challenging everyone to get involved in some way, even if it isn’t with the American Red Cross. Others in the community chimed in on charities they were supporting. We then segway into meeting today’s guest, Keth Crotty, the VP of Biz Dev at ShareKnowledge, the first corporate LMS built on SharePoint. Keth gave a lot of great information to challenge Sharepoint misconceptions. If you are watching the replay, join our Facebook group where we keep the conversation going. The link is listed below.

Tom is tasked with implementing an LMS in a company with a large amount of PDF and video based training in an open source LMS platform. The time is short and the project is immense. The team pulled together with great advice in a number of areas and agreed to take the chat over to the Facebook group for a deeper dive.

With the eclipse on the books today, we stepped away from the excitement to have a chat with Andrew Hughes of Designing Digitally. We started with a discussion on one of Designing Digitally’s VR games coming to Steam, then Andy turned the train by throwing out a question. He asked if we shared our PowerPoints that we obtained from conference presentations with other people in the office. It spurred a lot of chatter in the scrolling chat and on screen and led to some interesting answers. Be sure to scroll up while you listen to the playback.
