SPOCs come to OSIsoft, LLC.

Small Private Online Courses (SPOCs) are coming to OSIsoft. Combining the appeal of the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) and the value of an instructor-led experience, the SPOC is the newest way to learn the PI System.  PI ProcessBook and PI DataLink basics make up the first two courses, scheduled for 2013.  They are designed for the beginner-level user, new to the PI System.  2014 will see the addition of more advanced client tool, analytics, and system administration courses.  Check out the Learning website for more details:  http://learning.osisoft.com .
