His presentation USING A LEARNING ECOSYSTEM TO DEVELOP SELF-DIRECTING LEARNERS - A CASE STUDY will include:

• Demographics relevant to the topic
• Ecosystems v Learning Management Systems (inc. why this important, research finds on patterns of learning and how much time they have for learning per week etc)
• Detail components of our ecosystem (ie resource portal, open badge platform, public channels, social media, device types, resource types, educational theory supporting the approach etc)
• Results
• Next steps - ie what we have in progress to improve our results even further

Learning objectives. Delegates will:

• develop an understanding of approaches to learning with an evidence base showing their effectiveness
• be able to make informed decisions regarding effective learning strategies and learning designs
• understand and be able to replicate strategies to encourage learners to become self-managing

Felipe Zamana will bring us a HOW CREATIVITY CAN HELP US BUILD ECOSYSTEMS OF LEARNING

We all need a safe space to share ideas, build trust and friendship, lead and be led, with the deeper need to help others.

Ecosystems’ domain became well known since the cross-industrial collaboration become the main driver of innovation and economic evolution. So, if major characteristics that make us human are interpersonal relationships and the ability to create, creative ecosystems are human relationships directed towards creation with learning at the heart of it.

Because of their unpredictability and their spontaneity, creative ecosystems offer a greater idea yield from the assembled brains than traditional approaches. The challenge now is to renounce reliance on strictly strategy and power and to, instead, invite others to come onto your social groups and contribute with their ideas and dreams.

So, let's create together more creative ideas, projects, and solutions?

In this session you will:

• Understand how creative ecosystems work and the roles of each individual belonging to this system
• How to apply this systemic approach to navigate complexity and manage change
• How to create a strong environment to learn, develop skills, share knowledge, and cultivate attitudes to better performance

TRUST YOURSELF: BUILD YOUR OWN BLENDED LEARNING PROGRAMME

The best L&D comes from within an organisation so why not DIY. This interactive session will help attendees begin to create their own training programmes based on Jacob's blended learning best practices.

This session will lead participants through:

• Learn blended learning best practices
• Create a professional development workshop series
• Identify stakeholders to help you build your programme

An Coppens will bring us TO GAME OR NOT TO GAME, THAT IS A LEARNING QUESTION

When do games work and when should you really stay away from them. Gamification and serious games are close friends, both can achieve a lot for an employee but they require a somewhat different approach as a learning facilitator. In our short time together we will explore what each brings to the table and when they are most effective. We will also look at the use cases where they aren’t of any help.

Participants will hopefully gain:

• An understanding of when to use which (games or gamification)
• An appreciation of when to stay clear of games and gamification
• The arguments learning facilitators should have when persuading budget holders to engage or not to engage in gamification
• The employee perspective of games and gamification and their context

Yannig nous apportera ce discours : FORMER AUTREMENT POUR FORMER CONTINUELLEMENT !

Yannig va revenir sur les constats posts Covid pour redéfinir ce qu’est réellement le Digital Learning, loin des mauvaises expériences subies de classes virtuelles.

Nous allons explorer combien les innovations technologiques n’ont de sens qu’au travers des transformations des pratiques pédagogiques utilisant le meilleur du digital. - - - ...

Livrables-Objectifs :

• l’articulation entre les nouveaux besoins, les contraintes et le repositionnement des services RH
• 5 points clefs pour construire des pratiques pédagogiques innovantes
• un panorama des tendances EdTech porteuses de transformations pédagogiques et en fort développement

Dr Sam Mather will bring this keynote: REQUIREMENTS FOR LEARNING: A NEURO-PERSPECTIVE

The need to be able to learn continuously is ever present in today's fast-moving organisations: after all the only constant is change. Employees are learning all the time, after all the brain is "plastic" and can take on new knowledge. However, what is being learnt may not necessarily be the things you want people to learn. To ensure that people learn the things that will help them, your leaders and your organisation, the brain needs the right inputs.

Understanding the impact that the environment has on the brain and its ability to learn is key to enabling absorption and retention of new knowledge. Recognising that the optimal learning environment is created by a number of factors, this session aims to address the key elements needed from the brain's perspective.

Based on findings from a recent worldwide survey around the adoption of new technologies and research from the fields of psychology and neuroscience, this session will discuss what the brain needs to be able to learn effectively. What organisations and learning and development professionals can do to prime the brain for new knowledge will be discussed, offering practical advice on how this can be incorporated into individual, team and organisational learning. In doing so, questions such as "How do we get the brain "fit" to learn?", "how do we create smart and innovative employees?" and "what is the role of the leader?" will be addressed.

Finally, having discussed the environment that creates optimal learning, how this can be leveraged for greater employee resilience will be considered.

In this session you will:

• discover the findings of the latest research into barriers of learning
• understand the elements that influence the brain's ability to learn (and why)
• take away practical advice on how create the optimal environment for learning
