  Technology continues to change how we live and interact with the world around us. Today’s learning professionals face the challenge of tracking the technologies that are shaping the future of organizational learning while recognizing technologies that may be more of a passing fad.  At this event, led by David  Kelly, Executive Vice President and Executive Director of The eLearning Guild, you will explore the changing face of the learning technology landscape. You will discuss the various technologies that have shifted the landscape of organizational learning. You will examine the common characteristics of these shifts so that you are better equipped to recognize which emerging technologies have the potential to disrupt organizational learning, as opposed to those that are just hype.

  A light buffet dinner will be served.

  Scrap Learning, the gap between training that is delivered and what is actually applied back on the job, is a critical issue for organizations – and for you! It not only wastes scarce organizational resources, it threatens your professional credibility.

  In this in-depth, highly interactive workshop you will:

  • Discover the impact scrap learning has on wasted organization resources and lost credibility with business executive stakeholders.
  • Examine the 3-phase, 9-step Predictive Learning Analytics™ methodology and the 6 benefits of using Predictive Learning Analytics (PLA).
  • Analyze how PLA can be used to identify participants who are most likely, at risk, and least likely to apply what they learned in a training program back on the job.
  • Examine how PLA can be used to identify managers who do a good and poor job of supporting learning
  • Analyze how to calculate the amount of scrap learning associated with a training program and how to identify and prioritize the obstacles preventing learners from applying what they learned
  • Discover how to validate the accuracy of your PLA algorithm using Level 2 and Level 3 evaluation data.
  • Examine various data charts you can use to report your PLA results and gain increased credibility with business executive stakeholders.
