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

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…5 votes -
Live chat with online course facilitators
I would like to suggest 'chat' module integrated with online courses so that student can easily chat with the facilitator instantly. Although my facilitator has given me 200% support on email but it would be more easier if it will be on chat so the questions and clarifications can be resolved quickly.

The videos need to be edited properly (cut the parts where the instructor restarted the phrase to correct a mistake, etc.).

Programming in PI Web API Online Course: Too much materials for a three week period
Way too much material for a three week part-time course. Not enough time in beginner fundamentals.

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.

Emphasize the concept of 2+ trust in 'Configuring a Simple PI System' Online Course
The video "Configure Security for the PI Interface for OPC DA" in the 'Configuring a Simple PI System' course could benefit by reinforcing the fundamental concept of what a 2+ PI trust actually is at a second point in the video.
The first time I watched it, I missed the brief definition near the beginning, and then became rather lost later in the material, until I re-watched it from the beginning and stopped to consider this point. A simple on-screen speech bubble (perhaps at 6:25) clarifying this point would be helpful - the spoken material is ambiguous here and so…

Use a consistent font size for the video list in Configuring A Simple PI System
The font size for the video list in the link below alternates between 10 and 10.5:

Local online course facilitator for Asia Pacific customers
As a customer who is based in China, the time difference between me and the course facilitator in the United States is too long, resulting in opposite work hours. So when I had some questions raised in Discussion Forums, the response came in the next day.

Provide hackathon style datasets for online course 'Building Asset Hierarchies with PI AF'
Need more rigorous testing mechanism if possible. Rather than using our own dataset which can be challenging at times with IT and security policies, hackathon style datasets and something useful out of it within 3 weeks could be a fantastic way to apply skills learned from the course!

Show how to set up and use analysis templates in Enabling CBM online course
The final project includes setting up/using several analysis template types. How to accomplish this is not addressed in the video links provided in the course content. They are easy to locate but including them in the list of videos along with the other content would provide a student with a better sense of the amount of video content that was necessary to review to complete the course.
