eLearnz eLab 2019

Trends move so quickly in this digital age.  L&D Professionals must keep up-to-date and informed with the latest technology, trends and techniques or risk being left behind.  eLab's hands-on workshops allow you to get out of the office and take time to play with new tech and learn low cost and free tools to help create engaging elearning.  eLab has been a runaway success over the last two years and we are looking forward to hosting it again this year.

The format 

eLearnz eLab is 2 days of 6 hands-on mini workshops, with the focus on the latest in digital learning trends, technology and design.  You will work with thought leaders during these sessions where you will actively create digital learning.  You will go away with up-to-date training methods that you can put into practice immediately back at your organisation and pass along to your team.

Pick a Path is back and better than ever!  Create an interactive branching scenario using Twine, presented by Marion Littin, Learning Designer, Bloom Learning Technologies

Teaching content via a game is a great way to keep learning fun. With ITY studio it’s easy to create engaging learning experiences with 2D and 3D simulations.

This session focuses on building animated games with interactive maps.

You will learn to Integrate maps with clickable boxes in your simulations, resulting in several possible scenes within your module. You will also build a rich and diversified tree structure very simply, for a genuinely interactive training experience. At the end of the session, you will be able to export your game and use it in your own LMS.

Build a microsite for those who don't have an LMS

So you don't have an LMS?  Not a problem, making a micro site can function the same way, including reporting on your modules.

 In this session you will use WIX to build your site with buttons to each module.  You will then create your google form.  Next you will learn how to export your storyline or rise file as a web output (or you can simply use the articulate link if you are not going to have high traffic).  Using ftp (this is very easy to do!) you will put the web output onto Amazon web services (free web host for low traffic).  You will then add the link to the index file of the course to your WIX button and you can now deliver your modules to your learners!

We will also look at tools you can use to create an app from the site as well as using existing wix plugins.
