| Accelerated Rapid eLearning Development |
   |
'Rapid eLearning' is usually associated with PowerPoint conversions. While using PowerPoint allows you to build content quickly, you may still run into these problems:
- Lengthy development cycles because each PowerPoint slide may be designed differently
- Inconsistent design across courses
- Ineffective design on pages designed by people who don't understand instructional content
- Design or functionality errors because each page is built individually
"Accelerated rapid e-learning" will help you:
- Develop courses faster
- Develop with fewer errors
- Develop with a more consistent and effective design across all of your courses
In this session you'll learn to use Rapid Intake tools to combine PowerPoint content with the accelerated rapid e-learning development model. |

| Enriching Informal Learning with Interactive PDFs |
|
Formal training programs, whether eLearning or classroom in nature, can never be considered in a vacuum. Viewing training holistically, formal training should be viewed as embedded in a continuous learning sequence: pre formal learning, formal learning, post formal learning. Pre and post learning solutions, at times referred to as informal learning, can include a number of different knowledge objects: textual, media based (e.g. audio, video, graphical), or a combination of the two. Informal learning can play a significant role in bridging the gap before a formal event between old and new knowledge; and supporting the important knowledge transfer after the formal event. Are we design just the formal course, leaving the learner to their own devices when the course is done? Greater focus is needed in the development of learner support that helps the individual apply key concepts and procedures learned in the classroom or eLearning course. Acrobat Professional has a variety of different tools to design and create stand alone informal learning and knowledge objects as learner support that supplement formal learning efforts. Interactive PDFs allow developers and designers to incorporate layers, media, animation, navigation, etc. in a meaningful way. This session will show the participant how to create interactive PDFs using Acrobat Professional, Adobe InDesign, and Microsoft Visio. Learn how to design and develop engaging Interactive PDFs. You will also learn how to align these types of knowledge objects as supplements of formal learning programs in order to improve course preparation, job performance and knowledge application. |

| Instructional Design Concepts for Transforming PowerPoint to E-Learning |
|
Instructional design principles should be the guideposts of your E-learning design. All too often we are given power points which already exist and are asked to “convert” them to e-learning. This session takes you through some proven techniques to transform those powerpoints into valuable learning tools. Following good sound instructional design tenants you will work through a number of before and after examples to understand how the transformation into e-learning is not about the tool but about the content. Participants will have an opportunity to analyze and work through some specific examples of presentations transformed into E-learning. |

| Repackaging Webinars for Better Effectiveness Using Camtasia |
|
In the past, the ADP National Account Services division used only Microsoft’s Live Meeting Web conferencing service to train their sales associates on new software feature functionalities. This required audience members to log into the Live Meeting link to view the presentation, and dial into a standard conference call number to hear the presentation. Live Meeting would then record the meeting in a Windows Media Video format for later playback. While this was a fast and efficient means for creating software training, it had drawbacks, including lack of resolution, lack of focus, lack of user control, and lack of editing. Participants in the case-study session will learn how, to overcome these drawbacks, ADP now uses Camtasia (a screen recording tool) to record and edit the Live Meeting presentations. This allows them to create professionally edited recordings during online and live classroom events. You’ll learn how the use of Camtasia can help you repurpose and improve your “live” Webinars. In this session, you will learn: How to record live Webinars and classroom training events using Camtasia How to edit Webinars to enhance their messaging How to improve the graphical user interface of a presentation How to repackage Webinars for other media |

| Simple, Effective Simulation Design |
|
We learn best by exploring, doing and practicing...which leads naturally to simulations. Building simulations is very different from presenting information in more traditional ways, but that doesn't mean it has to be harder. In this hands-on workshop, participants can take their own topics, or ones we can provide, and learn how to work step by step in creating simple, effective simulations. This will include business strategies, instructional design guidelines, process templates, and examples of work w/ has done for Michelin, Sony, and Newell Rubbermaid. Collaboration and sharing will be encouraged, discussion will be lively, and everyone will walk away with knowledge and tools that they did not have before. |
