Don't forget, our next meeting is July 24th, 2008
(6:00pm Networking and Dinner and 6:45 the presentation starts)
We are meeting at the Golden Corral on IH-10 (see the home page for a map)
Our Presentor is Lee Roscoe. He develops Multimedia Training for Fort Sam Houston (AMEDDC&S, Center for Distrbuted Learning, Production Development Divison, Mutlimedia Branch) and he teaches a class on Effective Visuals for Technology-Based Training.
His presentation will be "How to Develop Effective DL Visuals"
Abstract:
Learn why some classroom visuals do not transfer well to DL.
Eliminate saying: "I-know-you-can't-read-this but…”.
Discover a solution to poor DL subject matter retention and low test scores.
Make the boss happy: find out how to change classroom visuals into dynamic DL ones, on time and within budget!
Presentation Objective:
The objective of this workshop is to alert and inform professionals in the field of Distance Learning to well researched but little known factors important to the development of DL visuals that meet both traditional standards of pedagogy and pertinent aspects of computer and DL transmission technology in order to maximize the DL student’s learning, comprehension, retention, test achievement and subsequent job performance.
Summary Workshop Outline:
1. Introduction
2. Visual Perceptual Conflicts
3. The “Why” of Effective DL Visuals
4. The “How” of Effective DL Visuals
5. Making Ineffective DL Visuals Effective
6. Conclusion
Expected Outcomes:
The workshop attendee "graduate" should be able to:
1. Distinguish between an ineffective and effective DL visual
2. Describe the impact on the DL student learner of both an ineffective and effective DL visual
3. Understand how technology impacts the development and transmission of visuals over a DL system
4. Understand how the human physiology of the DL student learner impacts their perception of the transmitted visual
5. Describe how DL visuals can impact subject matter learning, retention and test scores either negatively or positively and why
6. Change a classroom visual into an effective DL one quickly, efficiently and economically
ISPI and PerformanceXpress are calling for presentation for the 2009 International Conference
It is time to consider how you will get involved at THE Performance Improvement Conference, April 19-22, 2009, in Orlando, Florida. The annual conference provides a wonderful opportunity for you to share your insights and experiences with the HPT process by presenting an educational session, Bagel Barrel, and/or a workshop.
A few changes have been made to the Invitation to Present for the 2009 conference. The tracks have been changed to allow a clearer focus on a specific part of the human performance technology (HPT) process. The new tracks are:
Conference Track | Track Description |
Analysis (ANL) | The process of determining the current state, the desired state, the gaps between current and desired state, and the root cause of the gaps. |
Evaluation and Measurement (EAM) | The process of evaluating the degree of success of an intervention. |
Instructional Interventions (INI) | The process of creating and implementing learning events that close skill and knowledge gaps. |
Organizational Design Interventions (ODI) | Interventions designed and implemented to address performance gaps caused by organizational design. |
Process or Tool Interventions (PTI) | Interventions designed and implemented to address performance gaps caused by systems, tools, or environment. |
The Business of HPT (HPT) | The structure and application of human performance technology. |
Research to Practice (RTP) | A forum for the discovery, advancement, validation, and/or application of empirically supported principles and practices to advance HPT evidence-based practices. |
Another change has been made is to the scoring process for reviewing proposals. Session proposals can earn bonus points if the plan includes:
- An overview of the whole project prior to diving deeper into a specific part of the process
- Real-world case studies or data
- A high percentage of interactivity
These bonus points have been incorporated to encourage session plans that are engaging for participants, and to provide highly valuable examples of how HPT has been applied in corporate, government, educational, or nonprofit organizations. We would also like to encourage proposals for sessions that follow a different format, such as debates or panel discussions. Feel free to get creative.
A third change is incorporating translation into sessions. If you would feel more comfortable presenting in a language other than English, and you can supply your own interpreter, we urge you to submit a proposal. We would recommend that you indicate a 90-minute session on your proposal form, but plan for less time to allow for translation.
Lastly, for the first time ever, the Invitation to Present has been translated into both Spanish and Korean, which are only available online. Although the proposal must be submitted in English, the conference committee felt this might make it easier to prepare a proposal for people whose first language is not English. We hope additional languages will be made available in the future.
Whether you submit a proposal or not, we hope to see you in Orlando!
