Learning Light begins systematic literature review
Learning Light (LL) is undertaking a large scale review of evidence-based research into the use and effectiveness of learning technologies in the workplace.
The presenter will be Donald Clark - co-founder and former CEO of Epic plc, one of the UK's leading e-learning content producers.
Clark, who is currently on the board of Ufi, will cover how blended learning - using a variety of platforms to deliver your learning messages - can now be extended to wikis, blogs, mobile devices and massively multiplayer online games.
Alongside this, Clark will examine the importance of informal learning through which we get some 75 per cent of everything we learn - often without knowing it! This informal learning is unstructured, undocumented, uncontrolled and sporadic but preferred to the formal variety of learning by almost everyone.
Clark poses the question that since informal learning is so important, why do we spend nothing on it and instead spend all of our budgets on the 25 per cent of learning that is 'formally' delivered? The event will be hosted by Vaughan Waller, LL's Head of Membership services and a former chairman of the eLearning Network (eLN), the UK's foremost professional association for users and developers of e-learning.
