'Rethinking access to learning - how learning systems are changing', by David Wilson, is one of the conference sessions arranged for L&D professionals at the upcoming Learning and Skills Group Conference on 8 June in London.
"Historically, investment in Learning Management Systems (LMS) and similar technology has focused mainly on meeting the needs of the learning function: delivering e-learning, simplifying administration and automating reporting. Now the focus for these systems is shifting heavily to the learners themselves - and this is about more than just a prettier interface," said David Wilson.
David Wilson's research at Elearnity shows that organisations are taking a new approach to how their learning systems are structured. In a web 2.0 world, the past promises of portals, academies and personalised learning seem to be about to make a comeback - what does this new environment look like? And how can you make the most of it? Working together with the audience, David's session will help you answer questions such as: How different are the new learning portals from the LMS of old? Do you need to have an LMS? If so, how does it fit into the picture now? Why does IT always seem to think the answer is 'Sharepoint'? Do learners care and do they notice the difference? How can these systems help in complex multi-unit organisations?
Attendance is for the LSG membership and by invitation
The Learning and Skills Group conference is free-of-charge for Learning and Skills Group members and by invitation only.
