SUMMARY:LINGOs Virtual Training Mastery Series- October 2017
DESCRIPTION:The Virtual Classroom Mastery Series is a curriculum designed to support and promote LINGOs member agencies in the virtual classroom medium. It is part of our strategy to acclimate member agencies into becoming world class online learning experts through education\, coaching\, hands-on experience and results-driven online activities. The curriculum is derived from 2 individual courses\, held on Tuesday and Wednesday October 24 & 25\, 2017 from 8:00 am to 10:30 am Eastern time (Same time as New York): \n1. Design and Development of Virtual Classroom Training (VCT) \nAlthough this course is not dependent on a specific virtual classroom platform\, the Blackboard Collaborate (formerly called “Elluminate Live!”) platform will be used to administer the class. This course is not designed to teach use of Blackboard Collaborate. \nAt the end of class\, participants will be able to: – Identify the anatomy of a Virtual Class – Describe the tools available in most VCT engines to design robust interactivity – Transfer Instructor-led Training (ILT) design skills to VCT – Create Facilitator Guides and materials clearly and easily for VCT – Share Best-practices and experiences. \nThe Design and Development class will take approximately 2.5 hours. Prerequisites: – Participants must have attended at least one Virtual Class prior to class start time. – We recommend (but do not require) that participants attend a technical and functional session on their specific Virtual Classroom tool. – Participants must have an independent computer\, internet connection\, and microphone/headset\, and have their computer configured for the Blackboard Collaborate platform. \n2. Managing and Facilitating a Virtual Class \nThis class is intended for facilitators who will be teaching in a virtual classroom. This class is targeted for global staff of LINGOs member agencies who plan to deploy training via a virtual classroom. \nAt the end of the class\, participants will be able to: – List 3 skills a VC training must have – Define characteristics of a successful virtual trainer – Explain the various roles of a virtual class – Define 4 ways to communicate with virtual learners – Articulate the value of at least 3 tools found in a virtual classroom – Tell us 3 ways to help a participant succeed in a virtual environment. \nAbout the Instructor: Greg Davis\, Precision eLearning \nGreg Davis designed this course and has delivered it to LINGOs members for over four years. He will infect VTMS participants with his expertise\, energy and enthusiasm for learning! Greg is the Principal at Precision eLearning. He is the former director of eLearning at American Express. \nThis class is available to the staff of LINGOs member agencies. Please register with your organizational email address. Registration is free of charge to LINGOs members. \nCancellation or withdrawal: We understand the nature of international development and humanitarian relief work\, and that sometimes plans change. \nIf you are unable to attend this class after registering\, please withdraw yourself by emailing lourdes@lingos.org by the end of your business day the Thursday before your class begins. \nThis highly interactive class requires a minimum of ten and a maximum of 25 students. We often have a waitlist of fellow international development/humanitarian relief workers waiting to take the course. When registered participants cancel without sufficient notice\, or do not show-up at the start of class\, they keep others out of the session\, and also lead to last minute cancellation of the course\, as we must have at least ten students to start the class. \nWhile registration for staff of LINGOs Member Agencies is available at no cost\, there is a US$75 fee\, assessed to your employer\, for late cancellation or no-show.

SUMMARY:A Better Way to Review your eLearning Courses - Ingenuiti
DESCRIPTION:Led by Lauren Wheeler from Ingenuiti\, this webinar will offer on how to overcome the most common challenges to reviewing eLearning courses as having a convenient place to record comments and feedback is very difficult. Spreadsheets and emails with screenshot attachments do not work. Due to the lack of any structure\, issues can become confusing to implement\, and tracking them to resolution becomes a job in and of itself. \nInspector alleviates all of these problems by providing a centralized location to review eLearning courses and other multimedia content. All your reviewers will be able to access your eLearning or multimedia materials from anywhere at any time. \nFrom our own experience\, and that of our many clients\, adding Inspector as your eLearning Review Tool to your Development process is proven to improve communication\, quality and productivity. \nInspector ensures that all issues are gathered in a standardized format and stored in a central location. Information is transparent to everyone and review information is not lost. \nAutomated notifications for review completion means your eLearning developers can start working on the feedback right away\, improving your development process. \nAll issues are tracked to resolution so it is clear when they have been addressed and the content is ready for delivery. \nInspector supports most major eLearning Authoring Tools\, by providing automated tracking of SCORM published courses\, making the review process and resolution of issues a breeze.

SUMMARY:Development Impact and You: Practical Tools to Trigger and Support Social Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Register Here! \nDIY Learn is a set of online modules based on Nesta’s DIY Toolkit to help development practitioners invent\, adopt or adapt ideas that can deliver better results. \nThis online learning program features ten short\, practical modules on core social innovation tools and methods. These have been selected from the ten tools that practitioners found most useful from Nesta’s DIY Toolkit. The tried-and-tested tools are quick to use\, simple to apply and designed to help busy development practitioners improve the way that they work. DIY Learn has been developed to support a deeper understanding of how to get the most out of the tools. \nThrough a partnership with Nesta these courses will be available to LINGOs members in February. Join LINGOs and Nesta for an introduction to the toolkit and a look at how and why it was created. \nLed by: \nBrenton Caffin\, Director of the Innovation Skills Team\, Nesta \nGeorgina Innes\, Learning Services Manager\, Innovation Skills Team\, Nesta
