The international lineup of speakers and sessions focuses specifically on eLearning in the workplace. ICELW 2012 features keynote speeches by evidence-based training pioneer Dr. Ruth Clark and workplace learning and communication expert Dr. Saul Carliner.

Dr. Ruth Clark, President of Clark Training & Consulting (USA), will deliver an address entitled -œApplying the Science of Instruction: Evidence-based Guidelines for eLearning-, looking at the confluence of technology, human working memory, and instructional methods for learning. She will discuss the optimal use of visuals as a context to review the kinds of research questions that are productive and the features of research studies that constrain our conclusions.

Dr. Saul Carliner, Associate Professor of Education at Concordia University, Canada will take a look at research on informal learning and the implications for practicing professionals. Is informal learning the most natural way of learning for work, as some characterize it? The session will explore informal learning research and present nine insights that practitioners and researchers should consider when looking to promote and expand informal learning in workplaces.

The Conference further features a special demonstration session and panel discussion showing innovative work in eLearning technology moderated by ICELW founder and conference chair Dr. David Guralnick. Overall presentations will be given by experienced presenters from over 25 countries.

The ICELW 2012 program is now online and emphasizes demonstrations of eLearning and performance-support success stories, along with the application of academic research to cases of real-world training, education, and job performance.
