Course Playlist
The individual presentations for the class do not seem to be linked in any way on youtube - every time a course completes, I should really be presented the next video in the class

Provide a VLE for PI Manual Logger Web
It seems most videos for PI Manual Logger are outdated.
In my experience setting up PI Manual Logger Web can be tricky and time consuming (security wise at least). It would be nice to have an environment that is all built to experiment with the product.8 votes -
Make more videos about the theoretical side of PI
It's great to see videos about statistical quality control and the swinging door algorithm. I think that having more videos of this nature will really help PI administrators understand PI's capabilities rather than just its features.
This is also a chance for OSIsoft to explain some of their design decisions, especially those that naïvely seem like bad idea but actually have sound reasoning behind them.
Lastly, the process of making these videos will likely reveal insights and improvements, since it forces an in-depth look at PI and a justification for its design.
I will post video ideas in the comments.

Label courses about deprecated PI programs as such and state the replacement program
If a customer is not paying attention to which PI programs are or will be deprecated (and there are quite a few of them), then they can end up wasting their time and money taking a course about a program that OSIsoft plans to trash in the next while.
Please help steer the customer's attention, time, and money towards learning about programs that OSIsoft is actually pushing for. This will speed up both the adaptation of the new programs and the downfall of the old ones.
The courses about deprecated PI programs are:
• PI WebParts Class
• Building Basic…7 votes -

SQC Alarms and Charts in PI AF and PI VISION
Understanding that PI VISION is not going to provide a 1-to-1 solution to that of PI Processbook's SQC Symbol in the near future (see below referenced link) I believe it would help many people if a course will be created @ OSISoft learning website which will explain in details how to cover the SQC topic using PI data archive SQC points ("RTSQC"), PI AF (Attributes and Analysis) & PI VISION.
Generating SQC alarms is possible using the PI SQC Alarms mechanism (config. wizard via PI SMT) which helps to build the critical PI Points (LCL,UCL, CL, etc) needed for SQC.…

Offer Self-Paced Online Courses options in other languages
I've got the question coming from some customers if we offered our self-paced online courses in other languages. In my case, the request was for German, but I'm sure other language options would be helpful.

Be able to filter for free content on the All Content page
The only obviously free course is PI System Basics because this is advertised on the home page of OSIsoft Learning. However, OSIsoft has much more free content that can help users get a broad overview of PI and earn certificates in the process.
This free content is especially useful if the designated PI person at an organization is not yet familiar with PI. Whether they will be an administrator or power user, they will need to have a basic understanding of all roles and of how to engage others with PI.
On the All Content page, please add a filter…

Provide text/transcript for the online course to make materials more searchable
Videos are nice, but a text transcript with images would be fine as well. (powerpoint even). That way you could search for a topic easily rather than trying to remember where in the videos a topic is covered.

Clearly explain expiration of the Training Cloud Environments (TCE)
Courses mention that a TCE lasts one month from the moment you click on the 'Launch' button in the 'Launch Cloud Environment' page. It should also be added in the same context that you also must launch the cloud environment within one month from registering to the course : if you don't respect this second constraint and wait more than one month, the Launch button is disabled and you will have never been able to access your Cloud Environment. This should be explicitly clarified to avoid customer dissatisfaction.

OSIsoft PI Accreditation or Certification courses for Customer
Customers also need individual employees to gain OSIsoft PI skills to help transform their business. OSIsoft PI Accreditation or Certification Program will also help customers to build and validate skills to get more out from the OSIsoft PI instead of only depending on PI Integrators & Partners. Customers here need to keep OSIsoft PI skills fresh to increase the uses of PI.
