Learning 2.0: Where Social Media and Education Connect

Social media and Web 2.0 have revolutionized the world of education. If you haven’t felt the impact yet in your professional development programs, you will soon. Tools like YouTube, Twitter, wikis, blogs, and social networks offer a natural complement to traditional face-to-face and online learning programs. As tools for social learning, they also represent a powerful new way to attract and engage members and take your association into the future. In this session, we’ll consider how the new Web has changed the way learning happens and look at some specific steps you can take to blend social media into your member education programs – online and off.

Association Learning + Technology: State of the Sector

What’s the state of learning and technology in the association sector as we head into 2011? In this session, Tagoras managing director and association e-learning expert Jeff Cobb will discuss findings from the new report Association Learning + Technology: State of the Sector. Based on a sector wide survey as well as on extensive interviews with association education professionals, the report offers the most comprehensive information available on how associations are using learning technologies. We’re doing this one in collaboration with Engage365 and Peach New Media as a kick off to the new Education365 initiative.


Essentials of LMS Selection: Getting It Right the First Time

Great content is only part of the equation for successful online education: most organizations also need a way to effectively deliver the content, track participation, and manage the issuance of credit. The right technology can mean the difference between a big success and a big headache, but the selection process can be daunting. In this session, we’ll discuss the most fundamental factors to keep in mind when selecting a learning management system. Attendees will receive a checklist of key questions to ask prospective vendors and will leave the session with a clear understanding of how to develop appropriate use cases and what to expect in the LMS selection process.

Association Virtual Conferences: State of the Sector

There is a lot of talk out there about moving annual meetings and other major association events online, but how many organizations are really taking the plunge, and what’s working for them? In this session we’ll provide an overview of findings from recent Tagoras research on virtual conferences, tradeshows, and other events in the association sector.  Participants will learn about how associations are doing virtual conferences, what’s making them successful – or not – and what the major trends are for the coming years.
