Rough overview of follow up interviews

Profiles

• sharing profiles is necessary; and a way to centralize profiles that trainers are creating
• need to be able to easily and quickly switch from one scenario to another
• profiles to mimic different country environments is useful
• pre-loaded profiles for specific countries

Verification of tool

• highly useful for participants to verify tool is working and will work in local environment

Throttling-specific (varied by trainer)

• useful for specific cases
• helpful in mimicking the home environment if bandwidth at training location is significantly different
  • helps avoid the “bait and switch situation”
  • accurate expectations for tool’s abilities in home environment

Ethernet

• most concerned if there was a work around if Ethernet connection is not readily available

Documentation

• explanatory material on basic concepts for the non-technical trainer is necessary (e.g. basic protocol knowledge, http vs https, additional technical terms, etc)
• specific use-cases and examples
• generic curriculum built-out
