Event Details

Tools for learning, information-sharing, knowledge development and knowledge management are evolving rapidly.  We've all heard about them:  Social Networking & Social Media, Interconnectivity & Interactivity of web-delivered content, Wiki's, Podcasts & Webinars, Blogs, Simulations, CBT- Blackboard, Moodle, Angel.  Why are they so popular?  How can I use them in my training program?  What kind of budget do I need? 

 

See strategies and demonstrations to help you integrate these resources into your curriculum.  You'll learn how to incorporate these tools into your training program whether your budget is minimal to non-existent, moderate, or sky's the limit! 

 

Staying current and aware of training and development trends is central to the success of everyone in the training profession.  No longer limited by bandwidth constraints, forward-thinking trainers are finding ways to utilize these resources in their programs.  Don't be left behind!
