This Week's Live and Interactive Events in Elluminate

Below are this week's public, free, and interactive webinars through LearnCentral.org, the social learning network for education that I work on for Elluminate.

The time of the events below will show up automatically in your own time zone when you are registered in LearnCentral and when you have chosen your time zone in your profile. Event recordings are posted and available after the events if you aren't able to attend them live. A number of folks have emailed me looking for an easy calendar import / RSS feed for these events, and while the developers at LearnCentral are working on a good long-term solution, you'll find my Google Calendar "hack" at LearnCentral.tv. Hope it helps!

Be on the lookout for Australia-time-friendly events as part of the new Australia Series, and Spanish-language Webinars from the Aula 2.0 Series! I hope you will also consider hosting your own public webinars using the LearnCentral public room--instructions are available by joining the "Host Your Own Webinar" group on the main announcement tab (http://www.learncentral.org/group/3432/host-your-own-webinars).

Thanks for your attention, and see you online!

    “Entendiendo a la generación digital.”
    La nueva generación es diferente. Están constantemente conectados a internet. Muchos piensan que son individualistas, que no leen, que son descuidados, que la escuela no les interesa, pero la realidad es diferente. Los medios y las empresas lo saben y están cambiando su metodología de acercamiento para mantenerlos enganchados, sin embargo en el ámbito escolar seguimos haciendo lo mismo que cuando se instituyo la escolarización formal.

    Getting The Inside Track: Gaining Buy-In For Training From Internal Clients,” with presenter Ajay Pangarkar. Increasingly, HR and training managers need to gain the “buy-in” from participants, who are fed up with training courses, middle managers, who cannot afford employee downtime from training and senior management who want to see tangible benefits and a return on their training. Through an actual application of internally marketing your training initiatives, session participants will leave knowing how to address essential concerns, package their training solutions, and identify and address each level of stakeholder in their organization. Through an interactive and practical approach this session will provide training and learning managers with the steps required to develop the essential skills as they relate to gaining the support and marketing of training initiatives internally.
