Pre-check virtual training (Eng)

Step 3: Which hardware setup can I use?

• Step 3: Which hardware setup can I use?

  During the training you use your own hardware. What exactly do you need?
  

  You will use the following applications during the training:

  • the Online Learning Environment (browser)
  • the Teams environment (Teams app)
  • the Virtual machine with Esri software (Remote desktop app or browser). 

  
  Therefore, it is useful to have at least two screens.
  
  Figure 1 below shows an example configuration. In this configuration, two monitors are connected to a PC. The left screen displays the Online learning environment (https://mijnopleiding.esri.nl/) and the Teams environment. The right screen displays the virtual machine.
  
  

  This is especially useful when doing the exercises. On the left you have the exercise document (PDF) in which the exercises are written out and on the right you have the ESRI software at your disposal. In any case, listening to the videos (via the online learning environment or listening to the teacher (during the virtual classroom courses with Webex) takes place on the local computer (NOT in the virtual environment).

  Another possible setup is shown in figure 2 below. This configuration consists of a tablet and a laptop. Both are connected to the Internet but not to each other. 
  

  The table (in this example an Ipad) displays the Online Learning environment (https://mijnopleiding.esri.nl/) and the Micrsoft Teams environment. The laptop displays the virtual machine. The disadvantage of this setup is that demos of a teacher are difficult to see and that you cannot cut and paste text from the exercise to the virtual machine. In general, that is not a problem. You sometimes have to type a little more text. In this setip the Webex environment could also be displayed on the laptop.

  Below a general checklist:

  • Find a quiet place
    
  • Use two screens (e.g. laptop and tablet)
  • Use headphones
    
  • Use a microphone (e.g. a headset for a desktop/laptop or of the built-in microphone on a laptop)
  • Keep your cell phone handy with the number of the teacher in case of any problems
