Simulating systems: Delivering digital difference
As part of a series of webinars run by the Learning and Skills Group, Brightwave's Head of Production John Beaton shared his experience of delivering rapid, agile systems training projects that let you and your organisation ride out the turbulence and surf the waves of change.
If your workplace hasn’t experienced a wave of digital transformation, then it's on the near horizon. Digital disruption has swept through our working lives, returning with the tide to refresh the status quo: upgrading technology and upskilling learners in a recursive process of change and improvement.
The uniting factor is systems training: every new disruption comes via a new platform and practices which you must master as fast and effectively as possible. In this new webinar for the LSG, John covered:
● The importance of systems training for today's high-value organisations
● End-to-end perfect planning for SIMS projects
● Rich media enhancements: when to get interactive, and when to think basic
● How to align your organisation's systems training within the wider context of digital transformation

This document describes an investment opportunity called Senmus Capital, which aims to create a venture capital market and regional capital formation model in Mexico. Senmus Capital will establish investment trust funds (FICEs) that pool money from investors to finance ecological and sustainable business projects. The model operates through an online platform and uses artificial intelligence. It aims to generate wealth through three phases from 2009 to 2020, starting by building infrastructure, then consolidating investments and growing portfolio value over time. The first FICE will invest in a waste-to-energy company as an anchor project. The model provides a way for entrepreneurs to gain funding while investors can earn returns through the trust structures.

Data Driven Problem Solving Assistive Technology Practices Jan 2010
1) IDEA 2004 mandates that schools provide assistive technology if it is required for a student to receive special education services. This includes devices used at school and at home.
2) The SETT Framework is a process for considering assistive technology needs where teams examine the Student, Environment, Task, and tools. It involves testing options and progress monitoring.
3) Case studies demonstrate using this process to evaluate reading and writing challenges, matching tools like text-to-speech and keyboards to the specific tasks and students' needs. Data is collected during test drives to determine if tools help solve the problems.
