Today, Tomorrow and Beyond in

Mobile Learning and eLearning
Everything and Anything on eLearning and mLearning
through three hands-on separately bookable workshops
RodneyBeach,
Director & eLearning Consultant
Whether you have an internal resource, team
or need to rely on a vendor, its important
that when you kick-off an eLearning project,
you have a cohesive team, identify the risks
and agree on a project design methodology
that is going to maximise the success of the
eLearning project.

Peter Hawkins, Managing Director,

Global Vision Media
mLearning (or Mobile Learning) offers a
unique set of privileges that far surpass
the conventional eLearning pedestal
itself. mLearning is spontaneous, hugely
customized and not to mention, low cost &
portable. Yet, just a cursory understanding
alone does not suffice.

Jeevan Joshi, Director Client Solutions Asia

Pacific, Upside Learning
For Learning & Development (L & D)
professionals, it is imperative to understand
mLearning not just from the point of view
of creating & developing but also deploying.
And unless the design & strategy can be
understood alongside a perspective on
IT, which many happen to overlook, the
understanding itself is rendered incomplete.

About the workshop:

A dedicated hands-on, highly interactive workshop that will equip you with the fundamentals, through to an advanced understanding,
of eLearning design and development allowing you to:

Reflect on your current practices and processes

Identify areas of risk and process improvement based on benchmarked best practice
Recognise areas of inefficiencies within your team or approach
Get a landing on WCAG and SCORM requirements
Review instructional design approaches that work in the real world

Determine how to scope a solution, plan the development and manage an eLearning project or project team
This workshop will lead you through the latest eLearning design best practice models youll be stepped through the end-to-end processes
and practices that will equip you with the eLearning essentials, and much more. Practical experiences and first-hand implementation stories will
be peppered throughout the workshop; going well beyond the ideologies. Throughout the workshop, youre going to have the opportunity to hear
what others are doing and why, whats working for them, and what needs to be done differently.
During the workshop, you will craft an eLearning solution, create a robust project scope and practical task list, and share it within the group.
You will learn how to plan, scope and manage an eLearning project taking into considerations factors such as the need to manage resources,
vendors and even scope creep. If youre interested in maximising your efficiencies, learning to manage team and vendor relationships, and
practically applying quality instructional design in an eLearning context, then this workshop shouldnt be missed.
Towards the end of the workshop, time will be allocated for you to raise any instructional design or project challenges youre facing with your
current or planned project, and well aim to provide direct solutions through a round-table forum. Go on; start listing a few key project issues you
want to seek some clarity or vision around and raise them on the day for an immediate and simplified solution.

Today, Tomorrow and Beyond in Mobile Learning and eLearning

20th November 2014, Rydges Melbourne

Going hands-on with Mobile Learning Strategy & Design

Registration: 8.30 am
Workshop starts: 9.00 am
Workshop ends: 12.00 pm
Lunch: 12.00pm -1.00pm
Facilitated by: Peter Hawkins, Managing Director, Global Vision Media

About the workshop:

Technology is moving inexorably towards delivering to us what we as humans considers works best. Every new
development more closely resembles the way our everyday communication unfolds and mobile technology is no
exception. Few of us understand the impact of content being delivered as a monologue and in a generic one size
fits all way.
We also know that the human attention span can be hugely short-lived, yet continue to deliver high doses of content.
This is clearly because we have never had an option to provide manageable instructions which people can aptly
apply.
It should come as no surprise that Mobile Learning is taking over all other forms of communication and the
inevitability of this shift means that it is incumbent on all to understand Mobile Learning holistically.
This hands-on workshop will cover:

The applications, design and strategies for a remarkable Mobile Learning roll out
Enable you to identify and understand what mLearning does well and more importantly, what it does less well
Learn ways to maximize mLearning strengths to improve training outcomes
Picking your moment delivery at the right instant

Peter is Global Visions Managing Director and his prior positions in the company have been
Professional Services Director and Technical Director. His experience in these roles has equipped him
with the skill set necessary for QA management over Global Visions full range of projects (video,

The Mechanics of mLearning Deployment & Solving the IT Puzzle

Registration: 12.30 pm
Workshop starts: 1.00 pm
Workshop ends: 4.00 pm
Facilitated by: Jeevan Joshi, Director Client Solutions Asia Pacific, Upside Learning

About the workshop:

Mobile connections are officially set to overtake the world population in 2014, as if they havent already. Mobile
learning (mLearning) empowers unique styles of learning, teaching, and assessment, while at the same time
addresses the limitation of learning location with the mobility of portable devices.
Yet, like every other technology, mLearning presents its own unique challenges. Badly designed and implemented
mLearning results in poor business outcomes and loss of reputation. mlearning demands a clear strategy for design,
as well as deployment. Another area which remains obscure is a simple yet clear understanding of IT, critical to the
entire process.
This workshop is designed to equip participants with a thorough grasp of essential elements of designing and
implementing mLearning, based on real life case studies.
You will learn:

Designing mLearning in context of Business and Learner requirements

Planning considerations of the deployment of mLearning including a framework of evaluation
Better practices and avoiding traps
Understanding IT requirements including bandwidth and security issues
