If you are responsible for learning AND show up to work and sit at a computer, and/or carry a mobile device, YOU are a learning professional with technology on your mind. Can technology give you an edge as a learning professional?
This conference is a supplement/add-on to the annual, national ASTD Technology Conference for those members who were unable to attend that event, or those who desire additional information re: National Conference topics, because the topics of this conference follow those of the National conference closely.The conference will provide information on tools, trends & experience using technology in the design & delivery of training.
Are you asking questions like these?
- What are the strategic advantages of deploying eLearning vs. mLearning?
- What types of content are best for eLearning and mLearning?
- What are the design and development issues we need to consider with eLearning and mLearning?
- What tools are best for developing engaging eLearning and mLearning?
- How do we determine which mobile platforms and/or operating systems are right for us?
- What's the impact of the context in which the learner is using eLearning and mLearning?
- What are the latest cloud-based applications used in eLearning and mLearning
The Technology Confernce is focused on helping you and your organization make sense of this wide array of issues. Whether you are working in a corporate, academic, or government setting – whether you're focused on setting the strategy or leading the development effort – whether you're new to eLearning or have been at it for some time – you'll find the information, technologies, and resources you need to succeed the Technology Conference.
ASTD Houston takes an enormous amount of pride in how we plan, develop, and produce conferences. Our goal is to ensure that all participants are not only satisfied with how engaging, educational and fun an event is while they are there... but that they also develop new insight, knowledge, skills, and expertise they can actually use upon their return home.

BiographyKeynote Topic:
When hiring a new employee or
promoting someone from within, most organizations look for experience
appropriate to the position and responsibilities. Although skills are an
important part of the requirements, experience often trumps skills because it
is essential that the candidate be able to utilize those skills in a context
applying both experience and critical thinking to the situation. Organizations
typically use training strategies to improve performance which are built on
instructional design techniques. When experience is required and the issues are
contextual and therefore require critical judgment to effectively address,
instruction is not enough. In this workshop, the speaker will discuss how to
develop simulations which translate specific experience into learning
modalities that engage the learner and help them apply the simulated experience
to real-life situations.
During the session, we will explore how the existing PLATFORMS and TOOLS can be
effectively utilized in the capture of Experience; how EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
can help with the efficient deployment of Experience; and how to enhance
delivery strategies through the use of synchronous delivery either in the
classroom or via VIRTUAL DELIVEY AND FACILITATION.
About Ken:
Ken Spero, Executive Director of the new Immersive
Learning University (ILU) at NexLearn, LLC, has been designing, developing and
delivering simulations both on-line and in the classroom for over 20 years. He
is establishing the ILU as a primary source of education for the public on
simulations and experiential learning with the objective of making the creation
and use of Immersive Learning Simulations more available to the masses on a
restricted budget. A faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania’s
Work-Based Learning Leadership Graduate program, Ken is also a frequent
presenter at learning conferences. He is also delivering the new Essentials of
Experiential Learning and Simulation workshop for ASTD as part of the Essential
Series of On-line Workshops.
