I recently returned from the DevLearn 2015 Conference, which is always an incredibly inspiring
learning experience. So, here are some of the sessions that impressed me along
with the slide decks/resources that are worth sharing.
What Delights CLOs and What Keeps Them Up at Night?
Allison Rossett
Great
insight on what CLOs and org leaders need/want from training professionals.
Also, challenges/obstacles and problems in current elearning/L&D.
Brain Science and Learning: Seven Tips That Will Dramatically
Improve Your Training Art Kohn
I
really liked his ideas on “boosting” learning – Post learning events that
increase retention. No PowerPoint on the resources page, but here is Art’s
SlideShare - http://www.slideshare.net/BizLib/neuroscience-and-learning-training-tricks-that-maximize-memory-and-retention-webinar-091515
Interactive Video for eLearning Designers David Anderson
David provided some creative ideas for
using video and even showed some tips and tricks in Articulate StoryLine. FYI:
No PPT, but David works for Articulate, which has the Rapid eLearning Blog and
the eLearning Heroes site both of which are chock full of tips and
resources.
Innovations in Interactivity and Interactions Rick Blunt
Rick's session on interactivity
reminded me not to get stuck recreating the same old interactive assets. He
discussed the levels of interactivity, Bloom's Taxonomy as it applies to using
interactions and he provided great examples. It was a great audience and he was
very good at getting them to share ideas and solutions during his session,
which was also invaluable.
What? I Don’t Have to Be an Art Wiz to Create My
Own Design Assets? Bianca Woods
While I could not attend this session
because it coincided with my own session, otherwise it would have definitely
been on my list of must attends, I did make it a point to grab her presentation
slides off the resource page. It has some great design tips and tricks along
with some good tool resources.

DevLearn presenters are available at devlearn15.com/resources.
