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.

In an age when even games are “serious” and e-learning audiences increasingly face screens of text with Next buttons, the unexpected can become the unforgettable. Fun is good for learning because it stands out.

Studies show that fun actually promotes learning as elements of novelty evoke wonder and curiosity. It increases engagement and provides safe areas to learn from failure. It’s not fun for fun’s sake. It’s fun for learning’s sake.

In this presentation, see how a parrot and some gadgets increased compliance awareness, how a board game and leader board increased worldwide engagement and collaboration, and how a basketball app improve college preparedness.

This presentation, based on the experiences and "next practices" of hundreds of HR leaders and projects, will examine the five (5) critical issues that must be addressed in the critical first 100 days and beyond of HRIS project implementation.

This session will include a 100-day template to HRIS implementation excellence, and the strategic to tactical steps that must be taken to accelerate user alignment and adoption. The session will examine not only the technical aspects of launch, but also the fundamental behavioral aspects that must be considered.

Finally, the session will give several "next practice" case examples of users who successfully implemented HRIS projects in small to large scale environments.

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. When the time comes and replacement is inevitable, the first step should not be product demonstrations, but rather the development of a replacement strategy. 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.

There has never been a better time to break the mold when it comes to internal communications and enterprise social networking, and the possibilities are endless when you use practical gamification as your foundation for employee engagement. During this session, Jeremy Henderson, Chief Client Partner at Jungle Red Communication, and Amelia Merrill, VP of Talent Acquisition and Employee Engagement at RMS will present how they broke the mold and rolled out a trading card contest that inspired employees to embrace the company's new brand, values, management philosophy and history, while helping them to become highly aware of the future state of the business.

Participants will learn how small changes in communication style will show that you truly care about your employees, as opposed to creating the impression that you’re just trying to manipulate their behavior by dangling carrots. There are four distinct generations in today's workforce and it's a big challenge to engage them all in meaningful ways. We've found that the biggest hurdle is trust. If they don't believe your underlying motives for using recognition and performance incentives, everything appears to be some form of manipulation, designed to improve your bottom line on their backs. This never works well and is the most expense way to motive people. We'll talk about the pros and cons of using Cash and what employees really want from you to bring out their "A" Game. Once you win over their trust and create a winning culture, you get everybody's 110% performance for free!
