In this session, we’ll cover tech troubleshooting basics: how to approach the device or the person having the issue; first questions to ask; and common issues with websites, mobile devices, and computer programs. We’ll also reframe the technology troubleshooting process in a more familiar context: a reference conversation or customer service interaction.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn basic strategies for approaching technology troubleshooting for themselves and for their patrons, based on best practices from help desk and other tech industry fields.
- Get a quick list of frequent issues and how to solve them for a variety of platforms, including the internet and mobile devices.
- Gain confidence in their own ability to navigate technology troubleshooting.
- Are able to view tech troubleshooting interactions as another form of customer service, to support an open mindset towards finding solutions.
