I love the topic because it's relevant to the current time and it's not something I'd been trained on before regardless of the fact that I've been working remotely part of the time over the last 4+ years. I think that in order for remote work to be successful it's important to consider many of the things covered in this training. The training opened my eyes to all of the opportunities out there that will help me improve my remote work experience. I didn't like that so many website were covered without going into detail about some of them. It felt a little overwhelming. Also I'm interested in learning more about the best ones and details about what they can do. It surprised me that there were so many tools available. Anyone working remotely or considering remote work would get the most from this course.

It felt like a race to get in as much material as possible, over 300 slides! At least I'm able to keep a copy of the slide deck and use it as a reference in the future; however, with the speed that technology is changing, I imagine I am going to find that there is quite a bit outdated already with references to specific top tools/websites/etc.

A lot of content and things to think through, as wells as a lot of good reminders of standard business practices. Presented many resources that I will likely refer back to in the future when it comes to available software.

The course is comprehensive, engaging, and well delivered.
I would suggest emphasizing more on cybersecurity practices for remote work which seems to be the most critical part and an area of interest for employers.
