Presentation Title: Web 2.0 Powered Learning:  Transforming Frontline Performance with Second Life, Podcasting, Simulations and Other Learning Approaches

Presenter: Anders Gronstedt, Ph.D.

A completely new breed of game-savvy and socially-networked employees is entering the workforce, with little patience for the traditional doldrums of workplace training. They want to be engaged, in control, and part of the storyline. Leading companies like IBM, Ericsson, Nike and EMC are turbo-charging workplace performance with learning programs that focus on doing, simulating, socializing, playing, sharing, and collaborating. Learn to:
  • Redefine learning and energize training with the sprawling, vibrant 3D worlds of online interactive environments like Second Life.
  • Turn the morning commute into a learning experience with fast-paced, radio-style Podcasted audio feeds.
  • Help people learn by doing with game-based simulators.
