This session is an overview and introduction to Motivation-Based Interviewing. MBI is a 15 year-old interviewing method specifically designed for identifying and hiring high achievers. Traditional behavior-based interviewing focuses almost solely on an applicant's level of skill. This approach has a long history of producing hit-and-miss hiring results. Why? Because it takes more than just skill to succeed! MBI assesses all 3 of the components common to top performers that enable them to achieve above-average results, yet requires no extra interviewing time. The 3 components MBI assesses are - skill, attitude and passion! Please note, this session includes a powerful video that’s not available in an archived version.

Today’s organizations are extremely complex. Due to complexity and pace of change, no longer does top management have all the expertise in the company and does learning content come from just one place. Today’s experts can be found throughout the entire organization. This expertise needs to be shared in a timely manner to keep up with change. This session will outline how organizations can harness social networking tools for learning in today’s complex environment. The speaker will examine how by allowing stakeholders around the organization to create smaller but engaging parcels of learning content complexity is embraced and confusion is reduced.

Mobile devices offer an enticing array of opportunities for learning and development, so it seems like a "no-brainer" for training departments to add mLearning.

But there are four key mLearning issues that should be taken into consideration before just jumping into mLearning:

• Technology
• People
• Content
• Business Value

All four of these can have a critical impact on the potential success of any plan to add mLearning to an organization’s overall training and development program.

Learn how these issues can serve as a framework for analysis/information gathering to shape your organization’s planning stages for mLearning, and even help identify prime opportunities to implement mLearning to make a true difference for your organization.

Thanks to their cost savings and extended reach, virtual classroom training tools such as Cisco WebEx, Adobe Connect and GoTo Training have become popular in many organizations. And while the benefits of may seem fantastic, the implementation often falls flat. Trainers struggle to engage participants effectively and are frustrated by the absence of eye contact and body language they use to gauge learner interest and comprehension in face-to-face classrooms.

Learners often find webinars boring. They become distracted and often multi-task throughout online sessions.

Attend this session to experience what it takes to set up and use virtual classroom tools properly.

Find out how to use ground rules to appropriately set the stage, what to consider when adapting content for virtual classroom sessions, ways to make relevant use of the software tools.

Technology has completely changed the way we live, work, play and learn. The 5 generations that work and learn together all have different experiences and learning preferences. Research has shown that multimodal learning results in significantly increased retention, especially for higher order skill development. Based on our book: Best Practices for the Virtual Classroom, this workshop will discuss new trends in learning and 7 steps to blended learning success. It will discuss a framework for blended learning, the components of a Virtual Learning Environment, key principles in architecting the learning experience and designing highly interactive virtual classroom experiences. We will then explore how these principal were considered in the design of a leadership program across the Caribbean.

Social media has become a fixture in many of our lives, whether it is Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or any other of the growing list of social technology platforms.

For many of us not a day goes by that we don’t check in on our on-line lives. Organizations have recognized the power of this type of technology for functions such as sales and marketing, but it is all still relatively new in the learning space.

• What does this technology mean for learning?
• How can we best leverage the tools available to create an engaging, effective learning ecosystem?
• Where does mobile fit into the equation?

The Tin Can API is having a massive impact on the way we deliver training and learning in our organizations. This session will talk about how organizations are rethinking the role and structure of learning systems to best capitalize on the capabilities of the Tin Can API.

Tin Can enables us to deliver and track learning in mobile devices, educational games, simulations and virtual worlds. Tin Can allows us to track informal learning and learning that happens outside the enterprise. It allows for learning data to move about freely and to be more tightly integrated with the larger enterprise.

These new capabilities have a dramatic impact on how we need to think about learning system design in the enterprise.
