"The
Successful Virtual Classroom: Five Tried-and-True Techniques" with
Jenny Beer |
Jenny Beer |
Move beyond boring “slide
shows” and have your virtual classroom come alive. We’ve got
five tried-and-true techniques to help you facilitate an
effective and engaging learning experience while also
meeting the pressure to improve your bottom line. Many
organizations are turning to facilitated virtual classrooms
as a way to deliver courses cost-effectively to a more
geographically dispersed workforce. However, even virtual
training can be costly if the facilitator doesn’t transition
successfully to a virtual environment and ensure that the
learning actually sticks. Based on years of experience,
practice, research, and client feedback, we have distilled
the art of virtual facilitation into five critical success
factors. In this session, we’ll model the five critical
success factors, share case studies of successful virtual
environments, and show you how to generate excitement in the
virtual classroom while ensuring the participants can apply
their learning directly to their jobs.

"The Five Superpowers of Learning"
with Anders Gronstedt, Ph.D. |
Anders Gronstedt, Ph.D. |
A new
breed of game-savvy, socially-networked people are
entering your work force, with little patience for the
traditional doldrums of one-way, eLearning and webinar
dronathons. They want to be engaged, in control, and
part of the storyline, with learning that focuses on
doing, simulating, socializing, playing, sharing, and
collaborating. How are you reaching out and energizing a
dispersed organization of digital nomads? In this
session, we’ll discuss five design principles of the
digital age:
-
Tell a story:
Hollywood-style, character-rich, story-centered
learning simulations are redefining
learning-by-doing.
-
Play a game:
Game concepts such as points, levels, time pressure,
and cut scenes make learning engaging.
-
Make it social:
Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and similar company
internal social networks are embedding learning in
every-day work processes and connecting people with
each other.
-
Make it immersive:
A
new generation browser-based, high fidelity 3-D
virtual worlds are energizing learning.
-
Make it mobile:
iPads and smart phones are changing the paradigm
from employees coming to the classroom to the
classroom coming to the employees.

"Strategic Planning: It’s Not as Complicated as You Think" with Ava
Diamond, Big Impact Speaking |
Ava Diamond |
Being
asked to facilitate a strategic planning process scares many
facilitators. But it doesn’t have to be that way. All you
really need to have are excellent facilitation skills, a
model that makes sense, and a commitment to the client’s
success.
Join Ava Diamond as she shares how to:
-
Make what can be a complicated, convoluted, drawn
out process simple, engaging, and fun
-
Create a strategic plan that people actually use
instead of putting in a drawer and forgetting about
until the next strategic planning process a few
years down the road
-
Create alignment between
vision, mission, values, and what people actually do
on a day to day basis
Date: Tuesday, April 10, 2012
Time: 11:30 am - 1:30 pm
Location: Collindale Golf Course CB&Potts, 1441 E.
