Tech Tools for Today’s
Tech-Savvy Learners with Gina Schreck |
|
|
We must change the way we teach! Students
sitting numb, with the “expert” up front, is no longer relevant, and
it's no longer working! Learn ways to use today's tech tools to engage
the learners BEFORE they ever walked into the classroom. Get learners
actively participating and learning through simple game-like strategies
and have them wanting to learn MORE. Extend your learner’s experience by
offering fun tech-nuggets that allow them to continue sharing and
learning far beyond a day of training.
In this action packed session you will discover ways to use today’s
popular tech tools like Augmented Reality, Flip video cameras, Blogs,
YouTube, even virtual worlds like Second Life to create game-like
learning in ANY program. These ideas are easy to implement and most cost
NOTHING to add into your next learning event.

“Can You Envision Better
Information Retention?” with Kevin Shum |
|
|
Although many
trainers, educators, and presenters might prefer to spend most their
time operating at the higher levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy or Gagne’s
Hierarchy by focusing on understanding and application, it is undeniable
that we usually can’t reach those levels without a foundation of
knowledge transfer of “facts.” Many times, that foundation requires
committing those facts to memory, sometimes in a rote fashion.
Especially in a corporate training environment, it is often crucial for
employees to be able to remember key concepts without the need for
reference materials to perform their duties.
We therefore often
wrestle with the problem of presenting information which requires rote
memory in an engaging style with potentially good retention – we don’t
want the presentation to remind our attendees of sitting in a classroom
reciting the multiplication tables.
This presentation will
focus specifically on an interactive demonstration of two very effective
techniques for improving retention of key information. Program
attendees will experience first-hand the WOW factor of discovering, “I
memorized that and I didn’t even know I was learning it!” Attendees
will also work with colleagues in identifying and discussing ways to
customize the techniques to the individual needs and purposes of those
attending.

Don't Be Boring!! Converting ILT to WBT with Sue
Fody |
|
|
Oh no! The travel budget is slashed and the directive is to
deliver your class over the web. Now what? Have you taken webinars that
have been so dreadfully boring that you’ve spent the time listening with
one ear and checking e-mails instead of learning?
During this session we will look at ways to convert instructor-led
designs to web delivered designs so your learners will engage,
participate and learn! We’ll look at webinar applications at the generic
level and discuss the features that allow the trainer to engage learners
almost as actively as if they were in the classroom. Expect to come out
with a list of tips and techniques that will help you transition a
course to web delivery. Bring your dreadful stories as well…we’ll want
to examine how not to be a boring web trainer.

Have You Ever thought About Writing and Publishing a
Book? with Dave Vance |
|
|
Dave will share his experience writing and
publishing The Business of Learning: How to Manage Corporate Training to
Improve Your Bottom Line which is scheduled for publication October 1st.
This is Dave’s first book and he will share his journey and describe the
process of self publishing. Learn how long it takes to publish, what your
options are and what the costs are (in other words, why do books cost so
much and where does the money go?). He also will talk a little about his
content, his reasons for writing, and what he hopes the book will
accomplish.
Before retiring from Caterpillar Inc in
2007, Dave was the founding President of Caterpillar University. Caterpillar
was ranked #1 by ASTD in the annual BEST Awards in 2005, and Dave was
honored as Chief Learning Officer of the Year in 2006 by Chief Learning
Officer magazine.
