  ISD in the New World: How to Say "No" When eLearning is the Wrong Answer

  
  
  
  

  Continue the celebration of our Chapter’s eSIG 10th Anniversary!   Over the last decade, most organizations have migrated toward eLearning, and executives now expect high-quality e-courses to fix any problem or to take the place of any live class.  We know that eLearning is not always the answer but how can we say “no” with confidence?  Join in the discussion about the unique challenges in eLearning design and delivery, and find out how to determine if eLearning will meet C-Level expectations and learning objectives.  Attend this session if you want to learn how to:  Begin with the End in Mind – Can you build a Mercedes with simulated training?; clarifying expectations and objectives Set Accurate Development Timelines – You want it when?!; identifying  the “real” ratios for eLearning development Be Aware of Limitations – We’re all video game designers … right?; recognizing skill and resource limitations Presenters: Local presenters from our own membership will facilitate table discussions on the topic.

  ASTD Competency Model: The Areas of Expertise, as defined by the ASTD Competency Model, include nine critical factors needed to be a successful workplace learning professional. This month's eSIG event supports the Area of Expertise of "Designing Learning."

  Joint February Monthly Chapter Program and Career Management SIG:
  Office Politics 101
  
  Date: Thursday, February 23, 2012

  PROGRAM:
  Office Politics 101
  The joy of accomplishment at work is important to our happiness.  When people
  fail to understand and manage the political side of work, their jobs may
  become unrewarding and unhealthy.  We need to view “office politics” as a
  normal aspect of work that needs to be managed.  We’ll learn about the realities
  of organizational life and the essential components of political intelligence.
  
  We’ll discuss some specific strategies to improve your political position and
  increase your influence.  Please join us for this interactive program.
  
  Learn:
  • 5 organizational facts of life
  • Ideas for managing your boss
  • How much leverage you possess through self assessment
  • About 3 different types of allies to have in your network
