Epic speaking at Online Educa 2006
Epic are pleased to announce their speakers for this year's Online
Educa in Berlin. The Online Educa conference is the key networking
venue for strategists and practitioners from all over the world.
Julie Read, Account Manager for the MOD
sector, will be speaking at the 'E-Learning for Defence
and Security’ conference on Wednesday 29th November 2006.
This year’s ‘E-Learning for Defence and Security’ will focus particularly
on security-related applications of technology-assisted learning
in civil society. A major focus of the conference will be on training
for emergency planning, resilience and response. Delegates at the
conference will include security practitioners, solutions providers,
academics and government officials.
Julie’s speech will focus on Changing e-learning delivery
methods for changing security threats. “To date,
much security awareness e-learning has been delivered as structured,
static content. As some organisations mature in their use of e-learning,
they are adopting new, more flexible methods and media to support
learning processes, moving from formal to informal learning. These
include rapid e-learning, for producing learning objects, performance
support, workflow learning and embedded learning. This session will
look at these alternatives and ask questions around how organisations
could mature their e-learning delivery to enable them to provide
learning about ever-changing security threats in a more efficient
and timely manner.”

Katherine Laux – Head of Design will be speaking
at the main conference on Thursday 30th November 2006.
Katherine will give an overview of how to design effective online
learning in her talk Learner-centred Design: Engagement
and ROI.
“Many failed training projects can be traced back to poor learner
or stakeholder engagement at the initial stages.
Learner-centred design creates an ongoing dialogue with the end
users. Any problem with the learning product or service is thoroughly
researched and tested in its environment. It gives visibility and
feedback to the project team about any issues that could result
in significant and expensive failure costs at launch.
This is good news for organisations; the approach invests in quality
up front, provides a better learning experience for learners and
is a more secure route to return on investment. It also ensures
that your implementation phase is easier to deliver.
Can you afford not to find out more?”
Katherine thanks Chris Bulman and Ailsa Donovan of Rentokil Initial
and David Prescod of the National Learning Network for the interviews
they have given to inform this talk and white paper.
