Learning Technologies
Professional Development 2013
The Tin Can API is a brand new learning technology that captures streams of learning activities and experiences, both online and offline.
The way people learn is changing rapidly. People learn from interactions with other people, content, and beyond. These actions, when learning occurs, can happen anywhere, often outside of a formal training environment. All of these learning opportunities can be recorded with the Tin Can API. In short, it’s the next generation of SCORM and is poised to change the paradigm of workplace learning.
Learn:
-
How training value can be measured for mobile and eLearning activities
-
How data is collated across multiple technologies into a single user learning session
-
How learning paths can be created to measure behavior change
-
How mobile technologies can enhance learning interventions using new development techniques
Target Audience:
Join us for a full day workshop that will give you the basics to understanding this cutting-edge technology, its impact on training and development, and how to apply it strategically in your workplace and training environment.
All participants will receive useful materials to take back to the workplace.
Presenter Bios:
Neil Lasher is a leading light in both the eLearning and mLearning industry. One of the pioneers of both of these methods of delivery, Neil has pushed the envelope at every opportunity and always challenges the existing rules of learning to forge new methods so that the end user takes away the very best content and has the most engaging experience. A lively speaker, Neil has been sought by many conferences around the world to present in his entertaining manner. Neil has published many new papers on Instructional Design and mobile learning techniques and creates high voltage learning events, all in plain speak and easily understood.
Neil sits on the advisory board of UK’s Learning and Performance Institute (LPI), is a past president of ASTD (UK Network) and past vice chair of eLearning network. Neil hosts a mobile ‘technical stage’ each year for the eLearning Guild’s mLearnCon (the world’s premier mobile conference) in the USA. In the summer of 2012, Neil worked for London2012 Olympics helping to roll out 1 million hours of learning to 200,000 people. Events do not get more high profile or mission critical than this.
