Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used this platform as our primary way of continuing Religious Education during the beginning of the pandemic when our church and school were shut down. It offered a wonderful opportunity for our catechists, students, and families to stay connected during a difficult time. We found that this online platform promoted family catechesis which helped us to realize that we needed to keep this platform available throughout our program even after our building and classrooms opened up again.

Pros

  • User friendly, especially for non-technical people.
  • Easy to see status of all users.
  • Very easy to switch from one class, "customer" to another.
  • Easy to resend assignments out.

Cons

  • I wish this platform allowed more then one email per user.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I signed up for the free CyberHoot training in an effort to increase my personal and professional knowledge of cybersecurity. I work in a variety of settings including in customer service at a financial institution. Currently, there has been a tremendous increase in fraud cases involving, phishing, smashing, and ransomware attacks on customers. I found the six free pieces of training to be brief and extremely informative. The 6 questions quizzes at the end of the training videos offer a chance to test your mastery of the material presented with an opportunity to retake it. CyberHoot also offers dark web monitoring and free informative monthly newsletters with individual accounts. I would highly recommend proactive CyberHoot training for individuals as well as small or large businesses to protect their information assets and customer data from breaches and cyber threats.

  • Easy to understand training videos that are brief yet impactful
  • easy access and flexible options for testing
  • Only six test questions for mastery of content with opportunity to retake
  • great graphics and audio on the videos
