The Millennial generation learners are rapidly growing in numbers and forcing significant organizational change. They are impatient, unimpressed with hierarchy, and want to be heard. They have grown up with Google, and are accustomed to “instant gratification.” Consequently, it is critical to evolve our learning platforms to meet their learning needs as they become an increasingly important part of our workforce. Are you really ready for them? Are your learning platforms designed to serve them? This session will outline:

• The essential expectations of this new generation of learners
• How we must evolve our training approach to address this change
• What learning functionality addresses their needs and expectation
• How phrases like data analytics, contextual information, and adaptive outreach become just as important to the learning community as they've become to marketing and sales
• How business performance is redefined and learning's role is re-evaluated

Gamification is one of the hottest trends in learning and development. Is it just a buzzword or a trend as one leading expert argues, or does it offer richer, more interactive, and more effective ways to develop people? Decide for yourself after attending this session. Dr. Robert Becker will cover the why, when and how of gamification, focusing on the transformation of traditional or legacy courseware into more engaging game-based learning. You will not learn how to design video games in this session, but you will learn how to gamify your instructional design if the gamification of training is right for you.

We will explore some of these new creative solutions and how complex HR functions are now going “virtual.” We will hear examples of how organizations like KPMG, CareerBuilder.com, Haymarket Media and others leveraged virtual environments to recruit, on-board, train and help truly change the way their organization manages strategic HR functions. You will also be able to collaborate with two industry experts who are right in the middle of this movement. In this interactive webcast you will learn the following: - How to engage with a global audience to recruit, on-board and train 24/7/365 - How to reduce costs, and do more with less - The challenges and successes in virtual recruiting Participants will receive a free white paper that provides information on HR Recruiting trends
