At the eLN Showcase event on 9th July, the Onlignment team each presented a Pechu Kucha (20 slides, each 20 seconds in duration). Today we present Barry’s session, titled Overcoming objections to social media.
Just a couple of years ago it was hard to find any serious use of social media within the workplace, and yet now it’s commonplace to see blogs, wikis and other collaborative tools being used. Adding social learning to the blend can enhance the learning experience, increase engagement and at the same time reduce the time and cost involved in more traditional approaches. So why do some organisations find it so hard to get started?

Getting the job done with live online training
At the eLN Showcase event on 9th July, the Onlignment team each presented a Pechu Kucha (20 slides, each 20 seconds in duration). Today we present Phil’s session, titled Getting the job done with live online training.
Most training is carried out live in the classroom or on-the-job, but face-to-face instruction is not always the most practical or cost-effective option. Web conferencing allows you to continue to offer live training but without the need for all participants to be present in the same location. The ‘virtual classroom’ is ideal for running short training sessions, follow-ups, seminars and meetings. In this Pecha Kucha session, you’ll learn how leading organisations are making use of web conferencing to provide more training more efficiently and how they have equipped their classroom instructors to make a successful transition to online delivery.
Enjoyable Elearning – Is it an oxymoron?
At the eLN Showcase event on 9th July, the Onlignment team each presented a Pechu Kucha (20 slides, each 20 seconds in duration). This week we’ll make them all available here, and we start with Clive’s session titles Enjoyable Elearning – Is it an oxymoron?.
We all know that elearning is growing in popularity, primarily because it’s efficient. It helps employers by cutting travel costs and allowing more training to happen more quickly. It helps employees because it allows them to obtain learning when and where it suits them. But none of this means that learners ‘like’ elearning; for many it’s just another mundane chore. So is it possible for elearning to be enjoyable, or is this an oxymoron?
