Gamification - It's Not What You Think
Morning Session (8:00am - 12:00pm)
Facilitator: Kim Whiteside
Games have been an interactive "go-to" element in training and development for decades. In the age of high-tech, sophisticated digital games and ubiquitous game playing on mobile devices, the learning industry has begun infusing principles commonly found in games into learning design. In this workshop, participants will distinguish traditional training games from principles of gamification. They will mine their own personal experience with games and develop a framework with which to incorporate gamification into their own courses and workshops.
Objectives:
* Define Gamification
* List characteristics of games and gaming
* Explain ways to enhance learning using skill-based gaming strategies
* Present a convincing use case for gamification in training and learning experiences

Microlearning 101: What Microlearning Is, Why it Works, and How to Develop a Microlearning Program for Your Learners
Afternoon Session (1:00pm - 5:00pm)
Facilitator: AnnMarie Marlier
Is your learning delivery is passive (think long slide presentations packed with detailed information) and/ or not as effective as you’d like it to be? If so, then you may not be addressing the needs of your always busy workforce and need to revise how you craft and deliver learning to your organization. By documenting and sharing the lessons they’re learning on a day to day basis, organizations build capacity and gain an unrealized, competitive advantage.
Microlearning, defined as “special moments or episodes of learning while dealing with specific tasks or content, and engaging in small but conscious steps” has been a part of adult learning for approximately 20 years, primarily in the fields of e-learning, training, and learning and development (Hug, 2007, p. 18). What sets microlearning apart from other learning formats is the time parameters, focused objectives, and amount of content, however, even in microlearning, models and formats vary widely.
Microlearning transcends media format, modality, pedagogy, andragogy, and learning environments. As such, it is an ideal way for organizational leaders to engage and support learners and build capacity through learning innovation (learning journeys, microlearning and learning platforms) without requiring extensive time commitments.
