Welcome to the future of learning: My first meeting with Faculte

June 22nd, 2009  by Anita  Filed Under Faculte, Faculte Story  

There is a new blogger in the house: Anita!

I am a Norwegian girl who has the privilege to work at Faculte this summer through something called the Norwegian Entrepreneurship Program. I have education in both Innovation and in Drama and Theatre Communication, and when I read about Faculte and their vision to make it really easy to share knowledge online in a multimedia way, i was absolutely fascinated.

When I first contacted Faculte, back home in Norway in early may, to tell them I was interested in spending my summer with them, I immediately got a friendly response. I even got an access code to the broadcast studio so that I could present myself to the team before I got to San Francisco. I started working on it right away, and it was so much fun! I have always loved video and photography, but I have never learned it properly or used advanced tools, and here I suddenly had a platform that allowed me to do so many cool things, without any hassle. It was simple and understandable, yet my presentation - including video, images, documents, text and webcam recordings - turned out great. It turned out so great that it convinced Miki and Maher to “employ” me for the summer By the way, in case you’re curious and wanna have a look at it, I’ll post it as a widget in the bottom of this blogpost!

When writing this I am as exited, seeing that the new version 3.0 is coming along with all sorts of new great features. I love the fact that you now can annotate videos, and of course the drag-and-drop function! I still miss a “trim beginning and end of video” function, but Maher has promised me they’re working on it.

When I go back to Norway after the summer I will be starting up my own company again, doing practical, theatre based courses B2B covering themes as communication, body language and creativity. I need to make a new webpage, and it will definitely contain lots of broadcasts created in Faculte! It is such a great way of conveying you message, and it will make me and my company look professional at a low cost.

Having been in San Francisco working with Faculte only for a week and a half, I have already learned so much. The Faculte team takes such good care of us (us includes Sverre, the other Norwegian “working” here, and me), involving us in every aspect of their business. They let us contribute in discussions and decision-making, and considering the aim for our program, this is the perfect workplace.

At the moment I’m working on creating lots of tutorials – aiming to make them both informative and entertaining. I am also working on an online, on-demand conference. More info on this one is coming soon!

I am happy and excited and looking forward to our big launch in July!

Anita
