Learning Light is taking a prominent part in the Learning and Training Technologies Summit at the CBI Conference Centre, London, on 12th October.
Learning Light, a non-profit organisation seeking to establish itself as a Centre of Excellence in the use of learning technologies in the workplace, is taking a prominent part in the Learning and Training Technologies Summit at the CBI Conference Centre, London, on 12th October.
Jane Knight, head of research for Learning Light (LL) a non-profit Centre of Excellence in the use of learning technologies in the workplace, is among the key speakers at this year's Learning and Training Technologies Summit, which brings together key policy makers, leading practitioners and e-learning specialists and takes place at the CBI Conference Centre, in London, on 12th October.
Other speakers at the Summit include Donald Clark, a member of both the University for Industry and LL boards; Gareth Jones, head of strategy and development for BBC Training and Development; Tricia Hartley, joint chief executive of the Campaign for Learning, and Andrew Ettinger, director of learning resources at the world-renowned business school, Ashridge.
Knight will be examining the meaning of 'successful' e-learning and will be releasing some of the findings of LL's recent systematic review of the UK's learning technologies industry.
Knight explained: "E-learning - be it via blended, informal, workflow or collaborative learning, delivered via the latest fashions of games and simulations or via blogs, wikis, podcasts and RSS feeds - is a means to an end, not the end in itself.
However, increasingly, it is being shown to be an important catalyst for improving organisational productivity.
"LL's systematic review of literature on e-learning - undertaken in association with a team of researchers from the University of Sheffield's Department of Information Studies, headed by Dr Miguel Nunes - has revealed that the impact and effectiveness of e-learning is being measured in a variety of ways," Knight continued.
"These include cost reduction, cost-effectiveness and improvements in job and business performance.
"New ways of measuring the impact of e-learning on an organisation include increased access to organisational information and product knowledge and improved levels of customer service.
"Ways in which e-learning programmes are evaluated are changing from measuring the business impact after the programme has finished to more continuous measurement, using a variety of indicators," she said.
"In particular, performance and talent management systems are emerging as a technology to help measure learning with performance".
