Google Classroom is one of the most interesting new ways to create and organize assignments quickly, provide feedback, and easily communicate with students. This morning, we’re excited to announce that Versal is one of the first companies to integrate the new Classroom share button, launched this morning by Google at ISTE. What does this mean? Now you can share courses with your class directly from Versal, and empower your students to take the assignments from within Google Classroom. Simply publish your course or lesson, and click the Classroom share button. Here’s a short video explaining how it works: The Classroom share button is a simple embeddable javascript button which allows teachers and students to easily share content from third party websites to assignments and announcements in Google Classroom. The Classroom share button saves teachers time by removing the copy-paste steps of sharing great content with their classes in Classroom. It’s a great step forward, and we’re honored to work with the Google Classroom team on this initiative. Open solutions are especially critical in educational environments, where teachers need the freedom to integrate the solutions that best serve their respective students. It’s the same philosophy we’ve embraced with our open embedding gadgets, empowering you to bring the best content on the Web into your courses. Check it out, share a Versal lesson or two with your Google Classroom, and let us know what you think. We look forward to your feedback!

We are pleased to announce that we have received national certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise by the Center for Empowerment and Economic Development (CEED), a regional certifying partner of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). WBENC’s national standard of certification involved a meticulous process including an in-depth review of the business and site inspection. The certification process is designed to confirm the business is at least 51% owned, operated and controlled by a woman or women. The Women’s Business Enterprise National Council is the nation’s largest third party certifier of businesses owned and operated by women in the United States. It’s a resource for the more than 700 US companies and government agencies that rely on WBENC’s certification as an integral part of their supplier diversity programs. By including women-owned businesses among their vendors, corporations, and government agencies demonstrate their commitment to fostering diversity and the continued development of their supplier/vendor diversity programs.

I was recently asked me about my recommendations for conducting effective online conferences (virtual conference).  They had attended the LearnTrends free online conference.  This conference has been run for a few years now and is tentatively scheduled for November 15-17 this year. This is my attempt to collect some of what we’ve learned over the years doing those conferences.  There’s some good information back in Online Conferences and In-Person Conferences, Be an Insanely Great Professional Conference Attendee, Online Conference Formats, and Conference Preparation. Assign people into roles.  For us we have someone who is an overall producer (actually there are three of us, but we split it well), session moderator, recording engineer, speaker prep person.  Technical Issues.  Prepare for technical issues and decide what you will do about them.  We’ve used Elluminate as our webinar system.  It has issues with firewalls.  So, we ask everyone to test until they find a location where they can connect.  This means that some people need to attend from home.  Communicate all of the details in great detail.  No matter how much you feel its obvious what to do, there will be confusion.  This is especially true with information like testing the virtual meeting software, getting into sessions, protocols during sessions, time zones, etc. Closely related to the above, make sure you have a well known way/place to submit questions and some assigned to answer these. Make it obvious where to access to resources from speakers.  For us, we create a discussion topic associate with the session and attach files or content into that. Session timing and design is difficult online.  Most presenters are not used to designing for online, so it’s important to help them plan their sessions to be effective.  You definitely need interaction and time for Q&A.  Some of the best sessions have very effective means of capturing the wisdom of the attendees.  Even the length of sessions is challenging.  Long sessions can try to get too much content in and often lose steam before Q&A.  Short sessions often means really superficial.  This is where a good prep person along with a good moderator can really help. Open discussions have worked, but they are risky.  I often find they meander too much for me.  Of course, I generally am more comfortable with directed Learning Goals.  Certainly, if you are going to try it have a great moderator and interesting audience. Getting participation outside of the sessions is challenging.  People don’t read things, or enter discussions ahead of the sessions.  No matter how hard we’ve tried, it’s VERY difficult to get an audience to do anything ahead of when the sessions start.  And it’s even difficult to get them to engage through discussion forums outside of the sessions.  It’s best to design things where the discussion forums are an added bonus and have some set questions to spark discussion.  But don’t count on that much participation. Make sure you have breaks between blocks of sessions.  The conference staff needs it, but so do the attendees, even if you think they will pick and choose sessions. For us, defining the times for sessions is difficult.  There’s no way to choose time slots where it’s not an ungodly hour in some part of the world.  Not sure we’ve ever figured out an answer. Text Chat works great during sessions as a Back Channel.  Encourage it and make sure the moderator and/or presenter weave it into the session - see Presentation Backchannel Multitasking.  Also, make sure that the presenter is not distracted by chat.  I always encourage speakers to ignore it and I’ll (as the moderator) let them know when there’s something I’d like them to discuss.  And I’m not a big fan of using multiple back channel tools that effectively split the discussion.  Just keep it in the webinar tool. Inject fun into the event. Nancy White jumped in to lead a round of Pecha Kucha using slides she had never seen before. The spontaneity and spirit of fun raised energy levels. Need fun stuff sprinkled throughout.  Moderators can help this greatly. Speakers on a common topic should get to know one another and swap ideas on their approach in advance of the session. Pictures of speakers make the event more real. Have pictures on session descriptions and on the first slide of each speaker. Thanks to Scott Skibell, we recorded the sessions directly off the web, i.e., outside of Elluminate and he produced great recordings.  This helps a lot. We’ve tried a few different ice breakers.  Interaction to learn the webinar tool is always a good idea.  Sometimes a kind of introduction to break the ice with audio can be good.  Especially if you want audio input.  Many people freely text chat, but don’t like to speak online. Be careful with screen sharing and video.  They require so much bandwidth that they often make the presentation not work for lots of attendees.  Much better to use screen shots. Some people take online commitments lightly. Several presenters never showed up. Some volunteer moderators disappeared when we tried to pin down times for them to cover. Online conferences have the advantage of being able to have introductory and truly advanced topics that will appeal to a narrow audience. eLearning Technology Subscribe to the Best of eLearning Learning for updates from this blog and other eLearning blogs.

Worldwide PC shipments saw their biggest drop in nearly two years. The post The Death of the PC Has Not Been Greatly Exaggerated appeared first on WIRED.

The stores are full of back-to-school wares and in some states, the kids are already hitting the books. It’s a great time to buckle down and make sure you’re on target for what you need to do between now and the end of the year. So how’s business? Is the organization on track to meet all of its top strategic goals? Have those goals been communicated well throughout the organization? How are people trained and supported to meet those goals? Are your employee development efforts aligned closely with the organization’s strategic priorities? Are you having a hard time answering any of these questions? Read on. Over the next few months, we’ll be exploring the critical alignment of training & employee development activities with the organization’s strategic priorities. We’ll look at strategic assessments, strategic planning for learning, pragmatic and creative development approaches, and the Competence/Confidence matrix. For now, we’ll start looking where many organizations find skill gaps: the first 24 months of employment, the last 24 months on the job, and all throughout the sales channel. First 24 months: First impressions last, right? First learnings last, too. Effective employee onboarding helps employees hit the ground running, resulting in stronger performance, less costly mistakes and longer retention. Most new employees leave in the first six months to a year of being employed. It costs as much as 150% of a departing employee’s salary to replace them (taking into account lost productivity, recruiting fees, retraining, and other outlays). Do the math. Once you’ve found those great employees, you’ve got to keep them - and onboarding is the first step. You know you have an onboarding problem if: You have high turnover in the first 12 months on the job New hires are slow to reach full productivity You can’t fill your open postings with qualified candidates Last 24 months:  Chew on this one: 30 - 40% of healthcare workers are expected to retire in the next 10 years.  Now imagine of all the training & development you’ve invested in those employees … and imagine it walking right out your door. How do you capture that precious experience and share it with the next generation of employees? How do you avoid constantly reinventing the wheel? We call this "offboarding." You know you have an offboarding problem if: Your experienced employees have a wealth of knowledge that is gained over time You have high turnover or expect to have high turnover through layoffs, retirements, and natural attrition You have no way of capturing and then retrieving the experience of your departing employees Training through the Channel: When dealers or brokers - even your own retail operations — are selling your products and services, how can you be sure they really get the message?  One of our clients sells a substantial portion of their product through a dealership network. We worked together to create a curriculum, support materials, and an incentive program to be rolled out across North America. One dealer’s employee sold two units the same day she took the training - when she’d never sold a single one before! You know you have a channel education problem if: Sales people can’t effectively identify customer problems, or the solutions that your product or service provides You’re losing market share despite your product’s superiority Your sales team or store managers are not trainers (or could be spending their time more effectively) Interested in finding out more?

When was the last time you checked in with a SME for a course after it has gone live?  Can you even find the SME for all your courses? Believe it or not, you’re not the only one who has a tough time tracking down your SMEs.  It happens all the time in all sorts of organizations. You’ve both done a ton of work to get a project off the ground and running, and as soon as things go live, it’s easy to go your separate ways.  But this is one of the most critical points in your project’s implementation: the evaluation.  (Remember the "E" in ADDIE?)  And the "E" means more than just checking to see if learners actually learned the content. Your SME will be a key point person in the process of evaluating your content over time and deciding when to make updates. Here are four tips you can use to connect with your SMEs and keep your course material up to date. Plan for content sustainability before the course launches. What can you do before the project ends to keep in touch? Decide in advance when to re-evaluate the course.  This may depend on how fast you expect the content to change, and what other activities may be in process (like budgeting cycles, product cycles, etc.). Build SME interaction or question-gathering into the course.  It may be as simple as the ability for users to email questions, or a focus group among learners.  Ready for the really cutting edge stuff?  Host a social learning platform where discussions about the content take place and include the SME in the conversation. Include the SME in the learner evaluation process.  Here are some important things to address as you both sit down after the "go live": Share evaluation feedback and updates from actual learners.  What trends do you see among the feedback?  Do you see any common threads in the comments or questions? Look at the numbers.  Have enrollment rates gone up?  Are more people completing the training compared to before?  Have more people passed the training? Are people finishing the course? Measure workplace performance.  Are people more knowledgeable about the task at hand?  Is there a noticeable improvement in workplace performance? Review learners’ satisfaction.  What have they said about the training?  What do your Level 1 evaluations say? Invite your SMEs to continue their teaching informally. Ask the SME to speak at conferences, training sessions, and events where learners will be gathered. Include articles and blog posts from SMEs in your communications with learners. Include the SMEs in the online social learning space, where they can provide expertise and insights to the learner community. Take the lead yourself - and ask!  When it comes to content in any training program, evaluation is a continuous cycle.  New technology or processes emerge, organizations evolve, and what used to be up-to-date information gets stale.  It’s important to sit down with SMEs to look at what content may need to be updated as time passes.  Here are some questions to ask to help you decide what actions to take: What is currently right and/or wrong about the content? Is it necessary for content to be updated? Is new, updated material available? To make this process easy, we’ve created a simple template to help you record these answers.  Download the file, schedule a coffee meeting with your SME and get updating!
