DAY 1 – Tuesday 10/23/2012
Session 1: PowerPoint’s No Longer a Slide Show Freak
PowerPoint's gotten a bad rap. Sure we've all had to sit through hours of boring presentations. But is that PowerPoint's fault? With the right skills, PowerPoint's one of the best multimedia applications out. Join Tom Kuhlmann as he shares ways to get more our out of PowerPoint.
In this session you'll learn how to:
- Use PowerPoint to create illustrations and all sorts of multimedia.
- Turn PowerPoint from your presentation whipping post into your all-purpose multimedia toolkit.
Session 2: Practical Approach to Building Successful Communities
In many organizations, informal knowledge-sharing happens haphazardly and only in silos – it's typically a rich but untapped resource. Think of how much we could extend and reinforce learning if we got strategic about building shared-practice communities where learners can help and mentor one another.
In this session we’ll examine the care and feeding of a shared-practice community, including lessons learned from the evolution of the Articulate community of over 200,000 members. You’ll learn best practices for establishing and improving a community of practice for your own organization.
In this session, you will learn:
- Ways to leverage the informal sharing that's already happening in your organization
- The best ways to nurture community leaders
- Tools and resources that help learners share and collaborate
- How to keep the community scalable so that it can grow without burning you out
