Session #: 338-M302
Presenter(s): Michael Allen Session Length: 1 hr. 30 min. Event: 2008 ASTD International Conference & Expo Date: June 1-4, 2008
Can e-learning change behavior and introduce performance proficiency, or is it just a way to cut training expenses? Can it be meaningful, memorable, and motivational, or are the only affordable uses just boring presentations of content with a quiz here and there? You're an e-learning designer or hope to be. You know the basics of learning and teaching. You've read books about instructional design and development processes. You may have a degree in instructional design. You abhor page-turning and want to make a real difference, but you're still not sure—with the constraints of time, budget, technology, and people to satisfy—how to build e-learning applications that get beyond content delivery and questions. You want inspiration, engagement, and energy--something that can effectively improve behavior patterns and produce results. To do this, you'll need to forget much of what you already know about instructional design. In this session, the speaker will correct common misconceptions that lead e-learning astray and demonstrate designs that fulfill the promise.
