Why Use CiviTeacher to Learn CiviCRM?

1. It's bite sized. What have we learned during the last several years as minute-long videos rack up millions of views on YouTube? Apparently nothing, if we are still teaching students how to use web software with all-day classes, plodding through hour-long webinars and reading textbooks.

2. Appeals to visual and auditory learners. People learn differently. CiviTeacher aims to break down the barriers of learning by providing fast, on-demand learning on a variety of concise topics thorough specific verbal instruction and real visual examples.

3. It's portable. Your staff can watch anywhere they can login to a website. Your staff can share a login.

4. It's permanent. When staff turnover happens (and it will) CiviTeacher remains to train the new people.

5. It's reusable. Forget something? Just watch it again.

6. You don't have to build it. You could create a training manual or video series at your organization, but how long would that take? Do any of your staff have the depth of experience to cover every topic? Aren't your staff already overworked as it is? Buy it, don't build it.
