Learning in a Changing World: How Are Web 2.0 and Other Trends Shaping How We Learn and Teach?
The world is changing...FAST! You can't keep up with the demand for training. Why!? Because our systems for designing and delivering training are outdated. They were created specifically to support the educational institutions born out of the industrial revolution. Now, we are at the end of the information age and entering the creative age. Are you ready? Are you prepared to completely rethink the foundation of instructional design and development as we know it? Are you ready and comfortable with the chaos of open information platforms, virtual environments, and user generated content? Brent Schlenker will paint a vivid picture of the new learning ecosystem, the forces impacting our profession, and how we can leverage those forces, and technologies, to become the influencial learning professionals of the 21st century.

Rethinking Blending: Improving Outcomes from Technology-based Learning
What's blended learning? If you said "a combination of classroom and online learning," you're thinking far too narrowly, according to Patt. She contends that we need to consider the unique characteristics of specific technologies and methods so we know how each can be best used to enhance teaching and learning. In advance of the conference, Patti will use a wiki to engage conference participants in evaluating the characteristics of different blending dimensions (for example self-paced - collaborative learning). During this interactive session, Patti will facilitate an open dialog about the benefits of a more open definition of blending and how to use this knowledge to improve technology use and outcomes.
