ELLUMINATE LIVE SERIES
“Leveraging Student/ Faculty Assessments To Improve Student Success.” The success of a student is determined in a large degree to the person teaching the class. In colleges, adjunct faculty are playing a larger role in delivering learning. Although most of these people are highly expert in their fields, most do not have good classroom skills and so the communication does not transfer well. Imagine a classroom where the teacher knows the behavioral preferences of each student, and the class as a whole. Imagine also the collaboration that comes from the students better understanding their own preferences and those of the teacher. Join Lou and shake up how you prepare for a class.

ELLUMINATE LIVE SERIES
“Formalizing Informal Learning: When And How.” The buzz about Learning 2.0 and Social Learning has turned into a clamor. Organizations know they need to jump onto this bandwagon, but they worry about how. Formal learning is well established and is well understood. Informal learning seems obvious but too ill-defined. Now is the time to move into the third dimension of learning, where formal and informal learning intersects with intention. Some experts have called this 'formalizing informal learning' while others term it 'non-formal' learning. Regardless of what it's called, this third dimension extends, enables and enhances learning in ways never possible before. Identifying and describing these new learning approaches and technologies is the easy part. So, come and join Lance Dublin to learn an approach to when and how you should formalize informal learning in your organization, how to market it to senior management, mid-management and the workforce, and what it takes to successfully implement this third dimension learning to produce powerful results.
