    Hi AlyssaGomez​ . I am wondering where I find this resource? I thought I went through all of the Week 1 resources but as I look towards the next week, I'm not sure if I saw this: Apply two prompts or techniques you learned from the "Tips & Tricks: How to Get the Most Value Out of AI Assistant" Rise course.

    Thank you for your help!

    If I have a colleague who wants to join the Certification Cohort, is it too late?

    AlyssaGomez​ Heads up: The calendar invites I can add through the Zoom confirmation emails for office hours don't add the Zoom link to the invite and are not editable. So, I had to manually add a second calendar event at the same time to have quick access to the Zoom link from my calendar. This could be a Google Workspace issue, but wanted you to be aware!

      Hi Scott663​ thanks for calling this out! I had a look and ran into the same issue. It seems that this happens because Zoom creates a personalized URL for each person who registers. This why a universal static link cannot be pre-populated into a mass calendar invite beforehand.

      To get around this, registrants will want to click the Add to Google Calendar link at the bottom of the Zoom confirmation email (shown below). This will ensure your unique link gets added to the calendar invite. That worked for me, so hopefully it should work for others!

       

  • Hi Alyssa & Team
    I think I am having issues with copying the Rise course because I am using the EU server, so I cannot get a copy of the course when I click on the link in week 1... Did you run into that issue before?
    Thanks :)

      Hi Fabienne_Werder​! I'm sorry about that! Due to the strong data separation that's needed between the EU and the US data centers, there isn't a way to copy a course from one data center to another.

      To get around this, I added the course's Quick Share link to the activity page. This will allow you to view the course and it's videos, and you can copy the practice text  into your own course. Remember, these activities are just for practice, so just do you best, and no worries if there is a portion that cannot be completed due to this restriction. 😊

        thanks a lot Alyssa, that works and I am able to do the exercises 🙂
        Yes I know, we ran into the same issue when we had to copy our courses from the US datacenter to the EU center...A lot of manual copy pasting🙈

  • How long are each of the 'Office Hours' sessions, you've listed the start time but not the end time?

      Hi HVfb0f498d-053b​ the office hours sessions are 1 hour! You can stay as long as you like, and I'll send the recording to all cohort participants the following day.

      Looks like 1 hour duration each based on the calendar invites from the Zoom links.
