Cost-Effective Social Media for Constant Learning

Immersive Learning/Education, Constant Learning, Continuous blended learning, 最近出现的一些名词。

with Ed Cohen, ASTD BEST Award Winner and Author of  Riding the Tiger: Leading Through Learning in Turbulent Times.

For many organizations, Twitter’s 140 characters are not enough to keep their workforce engaged in the latest news and learning.  Human contact is essential-not just text messages and Powerpoint slides.  That’s where Web video and radio allow for greater reach that is scalable, flexible, and reliable.  Today, developing a 24/7 social media presence is within the realm of possibility for any organization.

Join our facilitator and strategic guide, Ed Cohen, for this dynamic session, as he provides critical learning tools to help us implement Cost Effective Social Media for Constant Learning.

Virtual Worlds, Games, and Simulations: The Challenges of the Next Five Years

Organizations will continue to explore their understanding of Highly Interactive Virtual Environments. They will seek to resolve the differences in structure, use, best practices, and metrics between virtual worlds,serious game, and educational simulations.

More organizations will purchase access to virtual worlds. In corporations, they will use them primarily for building communities and bridging distances, although about 80% will be greatly underused.

Meanwhile, organizations will commission their own full, self-contained sims from scratch for foundational skills sets (mostly using external vendors, which will continue to have 8 months to 1.5 years development time), and slowly buy (and often modify) off-the-shelf sims. We will see a proliferation of stand-alone mini-games (although often connected to online communities) as the dominant model

Both socially focused virtual worlds (as opposed to the still under-developed area of virtual worlds as platforms for sims) and self-contained sims, when done well, will work better than people realize, creating a rethinking of the multitude of flawed assessment methodologies such as Kirkpatrick. However, organizations will still pursue the Sisyphean task of “managing through metrics,” trying to come up with an ROI for either an active community or the development of save-the-company skills.
