Understanding the Past to Learn the Future – Learning Technologies Revealed

Don't miss this popular free Webinar: Online Learning Technologies: Past, Present, and Future 

Tuesday, December 7, 2010, 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time (U.S. & Canada) with Dr. Gary Woodill, Sr. Analyst at Brandon Hall Research.

Dr. Gary Woodill has identified over 50 types of learning technologies in his work at Brandon Hall Research. Some of these have been around for at least 10 years, while others are much newer. Many of the newer learning technologies are just emerging on the scene and are likely to be much more disruptive of the way that education and training has traditionally been provided.

In this presentation, Gary will review past learning technologies, sketch his theory of innovation lifecycles, and place the various emerging learning technologies that he has identified on a lifecycle curve to show which ones are now peaking, which are maturing and even declining, and what is in the pipeline that will become available in the next five years. The purpose of the talk is to help both users and vendors gain a perspective on developing learning technologies, glimpse the near future of the learning industry, and make strategic investment decisions accordingly.

Six Trends That Will Change Workplace Learning Forever by Paula Ketter

T+D looks at changes to the workplace, the competencies for leadership development, and technologies will alter the way learning professionals approach training design and delivery.
