Stop, Look, Listen and Apply – Adding Contemplation in eLearning

Description

Session Description
Leading critics of technologies like Sherry Turkle (author Alone Together) and David Brooks (author of The Social Animal) and suggest that the abundance of technologies, while there are great benefits, also forces people to imbed gazillions of knowledge and information, but failing to process the information into useful and valuable to impact performance.
You will be able to SPEED-UP by SLOWING IT DOWN: Allow learners to stop, look, listen and learn to contemplate how to apply the ideas.

In this session, Ray Jimenez will share four casestudies on how to add the contemplation process in the eLearning design.
-A university graduate school project that requires critical processes as a key activity in the eLearning design
-A large financial services company that requires “mapping and schema” presentations on how learners apply learning
-A project management consulting initiative that includes “learner-to-learner” reflection moments for coaching
-A global truck engine manufacturer that requires “learning impacts reporting” to track applications
-A large psychometrics company using collaborative systems encourages reflections on case stories
