Agility and Informal Learning -- Free Webcast

Over the last few years, corporate learning has been impacted by an onslaught of powerful technology trends—social, mobile, cloud, big data, etc. As learning professionals, we struggle to leverage these trends to create integrated, effective learning experiences—versus a dizzying array of disconnected technology point solutions. We must shift our perspective to create learning experiences that seamlessly integrate the power of these technology trends. In effect, how can we create the next generation of blended learning solutions that deliver improved human performance and business results?
Enter the MOOC, an innovative new technology-enabled learning experience that focuses on “opening up” academic courses to a world of learners. As we consider bold new blended learning approaches, could the MOOC learning experience be re-imagined to serve the learning needs of corporations? We’ve polled dozens of business and learning leaders in recent months about the potential for the corporate MOOC applications. Not only have we learned a tremendous amount from these conversations, we’re already working with clients to develop MOOCs to meet their business challenges. Through our conversations and client work, we’ve developed answers to pressing questions about how the MOOC phenomenon can be applied to specific corporate learning need, such as:

What is a corporate MOOC, and how is it different from current technology-enabled learning options?
How might MOOCs be applied to the specific challenges that corporations face?
Which business challenges might best be addressed through the use of a corporate MOOC?

Sam Herring, co-founder and CEO of Intrepid Learning, and Sanjay Advani, Vice President of Marketing and Alliances, will share their insights with you in this webinar. You’ll learn:

the definition of the term “corporate MOOC,” and how it is different from the traditional academic MOOC
the top business challenges to which a corporate MOOC can be applied, with specific market examples
how to apply key MOOC design and implementation best practices to solve your organization’s most pressing learning and development challenges
what a corporate MOOC could look like for your organization.
