Starting a GS-911 Academy - What do you want to learn, and how much would you pa

(1/3) > >>

Good day, all!  ;D

Pretty much as the subject line says. I do Hexcode's technical documentation and videography - but this post comes under the heading of market research.

We're in the early stages of starting up an online technical academy. The aim is to teach GS-911 owners, BMW enthusiasts and journeyman mechanics how to do BMW Motorrad-specific vehicle diagnostics and, in the process, fully exploit the capabilities of their GS-911.
Our curriculum is not exclusive to GS-911 owners. However, since it is GS-911-centric, you will only get the full benefit of it if you own a GS-911.

We're planning on presenting a range of four technical courses (running the gamut from 'Beginner' to 'Expert').
The aims are to A) make each enrolee a competent diagnostic technician, familiar with every feature of the GS-911 and able to use it to solve any relevant problem, and B) build a like-minded community of vehicle technicians who enrich the BMW Motorrad community with their knowledge and experience.

I want feedback from every mechanic, tinkerer, technical enthusiast and weekend bodger who reads this:


* What technical aspects would you specifically want to learn from this series of courses, and
Bearing in mind that what's being offered is a complete technical curriculum in four parts, what would you be willing to pay for that curriculum? (Unfortunately, the answer can't be 'Nothing'... hundreds of hours are being put into creating and developing these courses.)
*
I look forward to hearing from you all!

Borgia:
First of all thanks for taking on this initiative.

I'll work up my substantive response later.

I note that you have posted the question in other BMW motorcycle fora.

I would like to suggest that you also post in the Vendors forum over on ADVRider. It is by far the most popular site for riders who would be interested in this sort of thing.

Here are some things that immediately come to mind.

- resetting adaptations
- TPMS replacement
- data logging and displaying data collected
- how to know what normal values are when examining logged data values
- programming and unit conversion
- ABS bleeding procedure

Pricing should consider that HEX CODE needs to offer greater value if it hopes to maintain sales despite its premium price point which is much higher than competing app-based alternatives using inexpensive OBD Bluetooth adapters.

Strat1035:
I am interested in this idea. What format would be used for training?  How will the content be delivered?

To start, outline the user manual and follow it. Drill into each function group. Follow with real world problems and walk through the fix.

I'm waiting.
