Three Things You Must Know About How Distance Affects Your Organization

I just got off the phone with Reggie Smith, the President Elect of the United States Distance Learning Association to go over details for Wednesday's (4/22) Webinar. We discussed how this webinar series is geared towards education of the audience, not education in the traditional sense.

For the past several months we have been doing this series of conversations with noted authorities, experts, thought leaders to learn from them in an interesting format. As this series evolves, we are getting better at both delivering a message and finding ways to engage the audience more effectively.

Last month we used TweetChat to have a back channel going on during the webinar, it worked great. This month we will do the same (using #usdla).

So, what should we expect from this month's conversation?

  • A brief history of Distance Learning
  • A focus on Corporate Learning (as opposed to K12 and Higher Ed)
  • Best Practices and Anecdotes
  • Alignment of Learning to an Organization's Strategy - and Some Tactical Tricks
  • Backstory from the Booz Perspective (Reggie is a Booz Consultant & President of USDLA)
  • Statistics from the USDLA Archives
  • Thoughts on Integration of and Participation in Distance Learning (Mgmt and Learners)
This ought to be plenty to get us started. If you are interested in any of these ideas, join us for the Wednesday Webinar. You can register by clicking here.

We will post a replay at http://www.intronetworks.com/webinars.aspx later that day.
