Separating Fact from Fiction: Today's Learners, What Do They Really Want (and...David Blake
Traditional approaches to workplace learning are getting less and less attention—and for good reason. These approaches simply do not meet the needs of today’s learners.
Concepts such as experiential learning, personalized learning, self-directed learning and life-long learning existed long before training functions began appearing in organizations. Today, innovations in technology allow employees to capitalize on ubiquitous sources of learning that exist beyond the traditional four walls of their organization.
Employees want a personalized learning experience that fits their individual needs, learning speed, and preferred learning style. Now it is up to you to answer their call.
In this presentation, you will learn:
-The basic tenets of adult learning theory, the brain-science behind microlearning, and a few other geeky things
Traditional approaches to workplace learning are getting less and less attention—and for good reason. These approaches simply do not meet the needs of today’s learners.
-The roles that "personalization" and "transparency" play in a learning function
-Practical guidance on how to transform from a training mindset to a "ubiquitous learning" mindset

Clare Killen, content curation manager, Jisc
Heather Price , senior co-design manager, Jisc
Trevor Bezzina, co-founder, Potential.ly
Alicja Shah, co-design manager, Jisc
This workshop will share approaches on how to develop staff and students’ digital capabilities. This will include a carousel of activities:
Activity 1 - Game of organisational digital capabilities
Wherever you are in your journey towards organisational digital capability this interactive session is designed to facilitate problem solving and the sharing of ideas and best practice. Based around Jisc’s four step model of strategic steps for organisational digital capability, the game activity offers something for people at every stage of the journey.
Activity 2 - designing for digital capabilities in the curriculum
Delegates will have the opportunity to consider materials which will support staff with designing in opportunities for students to develop relevant digital capabilities into their course, module or unit of learning. These will include a guide on digital learning activities and learning activity design cards.
Activity 3 - getting to know the digital capability framework
Delegates will have the opportunity of exploring resources which consider the digital capability framework in their own context and also consider how they might use the role profiles to support staff and students’ digital capability
Activity 4 - using the discovery tool to support the development of staff and students' digital capabilities

Open badges are digital credentials that earners can display anywhere on the web. They are underpinned by an open accreditation infrastructure developed by Mozilla, which enables the issuing of open badges to recognise granular achievements gained through formal and informal learning opportunities and to capture attributes not picked up in formal qualifications, such as the individual qualities that could help a student stand out in the job market. This workshop will focus on effective open badge system development, introducing Mozilla and Jisc toolkits to support badge system design and a strategic approach to implementing open badges in a formal education context. The session will be led by Mozilla and Jisc, and will include tips, case studies and guidance on best practice in badge system design. Participants will gain hands-on experience with tools they can use for developing open badge systems for motivating learning, supporting engagement and progression and enhancing employability.

Disruptive Pandemic School Leadership Management ShiftTimothy Wooi
COURSE CONTENT
Session 1.
1.Three ways the Covid19 Pandemic could reshape Education
Three trends that could hint future transformations:
i. Education - nudged and pushed to change leading to surprising innovations. The coronavirus pandemic has changed how millions around the globe are educated.
ii. Public-private educational partnerships could grow in importance New solutions for education bringing much needed innovation.
iii. Widening the Digital Divide The digital divide with new shifts in education approaches to widen equality gaps.
Session 2.
3. Transforming teaching-learning process from a teaching culture to a leaning culture i. What is school culture and how does it impact on learning?
Activity 1: Identifying examples of positive school culture
ii Styles of school leadership (Case Study 1: Four school leaders with different styles)
Activity 2: Leadership Styles
Activity 3: The role of leadership in determining school culture
iii Identifying and analyzing the culture in your school
Activity 4: Gathering evidence of the current school culture
Activity 5: Working with the team to identify areas for team improvement
iv. Developing a positive shared culture
Activity 6: Engaging with Stake Holders
Activity 7:Team review of your finding so far
Activity 8: Plan of action
Continuous learning has become imperative; many skills now have a half-life of just 2½ to 5 years. But employees are overwhelmed, distracted and impatient. Corporate learning (L&D) needs to adapt to the needs of modern learners.
Everyone in corporate learning is talking about MOOCs - massive, open, online courses - right now. But while there's a lot of curiosity among L&D professionals, there is not much understanding of what, exactly, MOOCs are and how they do (and don't) work for workforce training.
This presentation summarizes and analyzes what MOOCs really mean for enterprise L&D:
• What makes MOOCs different from other forms of online learning;
• How MOOCs have (and haven't) evolved to meet the needs of enterprise L&D; and
• Critical lessons learned by leading organizations already using MOOCs.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
