On the move. Headed to mLearnCon in June. San Diego, here I come!
A brand spanking new conference put on by the eLearning Guild, mLearnCon is set to happen in San Diego in June. I just got heads up that my session was accepted, so expect to see me there. I’m totally psyched top be a part of this groundbreaking event. It’s is the first mLearning event of this scale that I have heard of, so I’m expecting a lot. I have been to several eLearning Guild events and been part of the organization for a couple years now, so I know that they put awesome happenings together. From their site:
This event focuses on every aspect of mobile learning including management strategies, platforms (SmartPhones, PDAs, iPods, Tablets, etc), operating systems (Android, BlackBerry, iPhone OS X, Palm, Symbian, Windows Mobile, etc.), authoring tools and technologies, content design & development, and best practices. Whether you are working in academic, corporate, government, or military settings … mLearnCon will give you the ideas, information and community your organization needs to succeed.
I’ll be presenting on “Building m-Learning With Your Existing Toolkit”. The session will be focused on providing you, as the mLearning designer and developer, creative ideas to leverage things you already know about media production and interactive design and development in creating mLearning. Many professionals get hung up on the idea that everything has to be an active application to make use of the device or be perceived as being fully functional. I have some great examples, some information to share and code snippets to show that will change the way you think about mobile development.
You should really consider registering for this one. It’s going to be amazing. The keynotes are brilliant, there are Pre-conference Certificate Programs, and hey… it is in San Diego.
