Simulations have long been touted as an elearning best practice solution for learning engagement and effectiveness. But adoption and utilization rates have been slow, primarily due to a combination of real and perceived challenges related to cost and development timelines, as well as resistance to allowing employees to play “games” at work. Join us for an update on the current state of simulations in learning, and the trends and factors that are paving the way for actualization of the prediction that simulations and game-based learning will likely be the long-awaited “killer app” for elearning. The session concludes with an example of how the American Heart University blends both custom and off-the-shelf scenario-based simulations into their award-winning corporate learning programs.

Industry data and trends show that one out of every three organizations is looking at replacing its LMS. With greater importance being placed on learning, compliance, and analytics, organizations have begun to search for improved offerings to meet their needs.

A little upfront work goes a long way towards a successful LMS replacement and implementation outcome. Join Jason Marceau, Chief Operations Officer from Meridian, as he outlines key elements of an effective replacement strategy, and key practices for successful replacement implementations.

Last April, Joe Ganci gave us his take on how to choose the right authoring tool for your needs. At the time, he said you should focus on the four Ts: Talent, Technique, Topic and Tool. Now it's time to review the tools themselves and make sure you know which ones will work for you. Which ones are powerful? Which ones are easy to use? Can you have both power and ease-of-use in one tool? There are the PowerPoint add-on tools: Articulate Studio, Adobe Presenter, iSpring, and ZenlerStudio. There are the stand-alone tools you install, such as Adobe Captivate, Articulate Storyline, and Trivantis Lectora. Finally, there are the cloud-based tools: Allen Interactions ZebraZapps, DominKnow Claro, and Silitix Roleplay, among others. Stop the madness! Joe will guide you through by explaining these tools in an unbiased look at each one. This will be an hour of your time well spent. Bring your questions and get ready for some answers.
