The Varied World of Learning Technologies – Assembling Your Unique Combination

Presented by: Mark Morgenstern

Description: Are you suspicious, skeptical, or just plain burned-out on technology? Today there is much talk about “e-learning” and many options out there competing for your attention. While avoiding technical jargon, this workshop will orient you to the breadth of variants that all fall under the category e-learning — online courses, webinars, on-demand video, virtual classroom, podcasts, wikis, independent study courses, micro-learning, mobile apps — and then explore what each is particularly capable of and how to assemble a unique combination of learning options for your unique community of learners. Whether you are trying to bring together peers that are geographically spread out or trying to make learning available right at the moment of need, there may be a tool out there that can deliver. The primary audience for this workshop is new missionary trainers or those desiring to become more familiar with learning technologies.
