Although I don’t consider myself particularly “tech-savvy,” I actually enjoyed working with Train by Cell to prepare volunteers for our museum’s recent 50th anniversary celebration. The process was intuitive– easy to change and update, right to the last minute. I tried to make it very visual and fun to use, adding photos of staff and works of art that inspired the hands-on activities. The Quiz function was also really fun—but it made it clear that we expected our volunteers to show up informed and ready for the big day!

Asking volunteers to come to the museum for an orientation session adds significant time and effort, while getting the relevant information on their cell phone resulted in a much higher percentage of volunteers who understood our needs and expectations. Train by Cell made it easy for me to communicate information about a complicated community celebration in which we hosted 10,000 visitors in twelve hours. Now I’m thinking about how it can support our docent training course!”
