Hands-On Learning Innovations LAB
Saratoga Springs, NY (USA), February 2016 - Elliott Masie has announced a new Learning Innovations LAB to be held at The MASIE Center in Saratoga Springs, NY, 14-16 March 2016. Learning apps, learning personalization, user content, virtual reality and gamification are just some of the hands-on explorations planned for a small group of learning colleagues in a two-and-a-half-day intensive exploration and lab experience at the 10,000-square-foot MASIE Learning LAB in Saratoga Springs. A January Learning Innovations LAB was filled and included participants from General Electric, the Naval War College, MasterCard, PwC, Owens Corning, and Lear.
"The Learning Innovations LAB is a great opportunity to stretch our boundaries as learning professionals and innovators," says Masie. "I am deeply excited to bring together a small group of learning colleagues from around the world – at all levels of experience – to collectively explore existing, changing, and radically new learning models and technologies. This is a LAB where we will experiment collaboratively."
Learning colleagues from around the world will gather together to experiment with a wide range of learning innovations including learning apps, mobile video, curated content, connected classrooms, virtual reality, assessment and coaching tech, and much more. Participants will explore innovations from other markets, including Khan Academy, TED, SkypeTX, and more. They will have a very hands-on experience with a non-technical "Learn-A-Thon" innovations model and will return to the workplace with new ideas and emerging ideas for learners and the organization.
Lab topics will include
• learning "apps"
• learning personalization
• "search" and learning
• mobile learning models – mobility and performance
• big data and metrics for innovation
• gamification and engagement for learning
• video: fast, short, targeted, user-created, open, digital studios
• wearables, sensing, and aware technology
• performance-support technologies
• lms, lcms, and learning systems refreshed
• redesigning boring webinars
Elliott Masie will facilitate a LAB experience for the participants in this vendor-neutral program that will mix
• hands-on work and exploration with learning innovations
• models and hurdles for leveraging innovations
• video visits with field experts and working examples
• experiments and assignments to experience and apply
• "take home” resources and assets to share with colleagues
