LS109 eLearning Today
10:45 AM - 11:45 AM Wednesday, March 16
Management and Strategy
International Center
We’re all hooked to our
devices and our technology. Most of our work can’t be done without it, let
alone the scheduling, management, and communications of our personal lives.
Likewise, technology is an essential part of today’s training toolbox. So what
does the eLearning landscape look like today? Where have we been, and where are
we going?
In this session we will take a look back to better understand the current
trends in eLearning in order to help us project what the future will bring. We’ll
explore the changing nature of courseware; what mobile technology brings;
simulations; and social tools. We’ll define some key terms being used and you
will gain both ideas and inspiration for how you can incorporate eLearning into
your training plans. You will leave this session better informed and motivated
to try something new in your next learning initiative.
In this session, you will learn:
- The path of eLearning from the mid-’90s to today
- Key trends that are making waves in eLearning today
- Learn things to try in your own learning initiatives
Audience:
Novice to advanced designers, developers, project managers, managers,
and directors.
