Something is changing - you can feel it. The concept of learning and training is going through a conversion of concepts, creativity and deliveries. Great learning might see the convergence of gaming, marketing, social connections and assessment analytics. If so, then the world of instructional design must take a jump across the chasm. Who will you be next year? What will be your new skills? And will you still be an instructional designer or something new? Join the session and let's learn together.
Instructional designers are often called upon to act as project leads and project managers on e-learning projects, yet they rarely receive formal project management training. There are unique project management issues related to e-learning and unique ways of adapting project management techniques and tools to address those issues. I’ll share some of those techniques as well as lots of specific examples, samples, and tools from projects I’ve worked on over the years. Please be prepared to share some of your own war stories as well as techniques and tolls you’ve picked up along the way.
In this session Jacquie Beck will identify and show examples of small learning objects used for corporate training in large enterprises. She will demonstrate how these objects can be used in an end-to-end training solution, as well as in a support setting for just-in-time learning. She will discuss the benefits to creating small learning objects and building an environment that leverages content in multiple platforms to provide organizations with a return on investment.
Each training manager will develop a list of questions and concerns about creating effective training within their organizations. We will discuss creating a culture of learning and the challenges of working within an organization. Three very different focuses, three very different organizations, yet all three share one mission; to create the best training possible. We will open it up for questions and collaborative discussions. It should be fascinating and informative to get these folks together.
