Keynote Session Description

Michael Schutzler, the CEO of Livemocha, will examine how the emergence of social networking language technologieshave opened doors to multimedia curriculum that can either supplement or replace a traditional curriculum.

Studies indicate that the most natural way to master another language is through practice with native speakers.Michael will speak to the advantages of direct communication with native speakers on improving language verbal skills.

Livemocha, the world’s largest language learning community, embraces this style of language learning by incorporatingcultural immersion with the click of a mouse. Users can log in and instantly connect with one of Livemocha’s 10 millionmembers, each one willing to teach their native tongue and share their culture. This method of learning a language hasrevolutionized the language from a box paradigm. Foreign language learners construct their understanding not justthrough interaction with the material, but through collaboratively constructing new knowledge with their peers. Livemochaoffers a transformational approach to language learning, by helping students develop language mastery with lessonsbuilt around real conversations and online connections with native speakers.

We will demonstrate how many different organizationsincluding Ford, Ingersoll Rand, Texas Instruments, NASA, Fox, CBSand Kaiser Permanente benefit from LogicNets every day.

1:30 – 2:10 Realizing Full Return on Your Knowledge SystemInvestmentDave Marshall, Senior Partner, Red Oak Group, LLC

If we are to realize full Return on Investment and Improvements inproductivity, knowledge systems must be both effective and efficient.The state of the art is an ever moving target and today’s knowledgesystem developers must be nimble and adapt to both changes inbusiness needs as well as new technologies.

2:15 – 3:00 Experiencing Best Practices, a Novel Approach toKnowledge ManagementKen Spero, Managing Director, Immersive Learning University, NexLearn

The traditional approach to capturing best practices is via a KnowledgeManagement approach built on documents or slides created bypractitioners and then saved to a knowledge management system. Theproblem with this approach is that it usually has no effect on actualbehavior, and consequently, on the progress of the organization. Toaddress this challenge, the presenters will explore an alternativeapproach that seeks to address the underlying behaviors and skillsassociated with best practices through computer based simulations.

3:30 – 4:10 Using Posterous to Capture Knowledge Gained atConferencesJulie Spokus, Senior Training Specialist, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield

This session will demonstrate how to create a Posterous account andhow to link that account to SharePoint. By doing this, you can workaround firewall and other corporate security policies regarding socialmedia applications like Twitter and Facebook.

4:15 – 5:00 If You Build It, W ill They Come?Lawrence Suda, CEO, Palatine Group, Inc.

To accelerate the process of becoming a leading world-classknowledge institution, the United Nations defined a knowledge strategyand a suite of corporate tools for knowledge capture and disseminationto share corporate knowledge. A prototype system was launched in May2009 and user feedback collected from the United Nations DevelopmentProgram staff and consultants worldwide. The Beta, called Teamworks,immediately generated over 6,000 active world-wide users, includingusers from over twenty UN organizations.

2:15 – 3:00 Advanced Content Re-Use: Choosing an AuthoringSystem that Maximizes Multi-Medium OutputJason Miller, President, JMiller Consulting LLC

Many authoring systems are focused just on online objects. But whatif your organization needs to output that same content into a print-readyPDF or provide a content outline for compliance officers? Re-use ismore than just re-sequencing the same content objects in differentproducts. It also includes transforming the same product into variousoutputs. Can this advanced authoring be done without manually adjustingeach object? It can … through the power of XML.

Developing training simultaneously for mobile and traditional platformsraises questions such as whether to optimize for one platform or theother – or just split the difference. A project to develop manufacturingtraining for delivery on both PCs and iPads presented fresh challengesin instructional, graphic, and technical design. One runs Flash nativelybut the other doesn’t. One uses a touch screen and the other a mouse.Challenges included streamlining the work of developing for two plat-forms, simulating intricate 3-D machine processes in two dimensions,and wringing the most instructional richness possible out of HTML5.

Wednesday - eLearning

Blended learning is a buzz phrase that lacks consensus, but excitespossibilities of achieving better results from learning solutions. Let'sturn the table on the concept of blended learning and instead considerblended delivery, by recognizing that learning is broad, but strategicdelivery allows us to architect solutions. An effective blended deliverystrategy must consider the audience, the environment, and thetechnology in order to maximize the impact on the learner. The force ofthis impact is relative to the balance between aspects of technologyand environment to what learners need. Effective blended deliverystrategies must consider: The needs and attributes of the learner; Whatpossible environments can offer; and Technologies that capitalize onthose environments
