Keynote: Augmented Human: How Technology is Shaping the New Reality
– Helen Papagiannis
“As technology becomes more embedded and invisible, it calms our lives by removing annoyances while keeping us connected with what is truly important.” – Mark D. Weiser, 1999

- Google glasses shouldn’t have been a failure- it was good but culturally it wasn’t accepted. How do we get past the culture? Google glass was too exclusive at the time (had to have personal invite).
- Some interesting uses would be for giving autistic students opportunity to practice interview skills.

eLearning Renovations: Simple DIY Steps for Fixer-Uppers
– Reashonda Breckenridge
Same with eLearning lessons and projects.
Breckenridge keeps PP open all the time as a playground.
Go through phases of:
- Solid Foundation
- Demo Day (remove, but don’t discard — in case SME wants to see what was removed)
- Layout & Design
- Construct Content (educate; don’t decorate)
- Inspection Contingencies (punch list!)
Content Was Never King: Designing eLearning Solutions for Results
– Cammy Bean & Ashley Reardon
Content was never king; it’s all about the people!
Some good questions to ask in identifying the audience, the situation, and the goal:
- What do you want people to start doing?
- What do they do today instead?
- So what? What’s the impact of the mistakes?
- What are the expectations?
- What are the barriers to doing what we want them to do?
I Find Your Lack of Retention Disturbing: Boost Retention with Pop Culture
– Aly Gillen & Chris Perez
Amazing and fun content.
Survey in Session – Having watched The Office CPR Episode made participants much more likely to know how fast to do CPR — among people who have never had CPR training. Think Preposition Song and 13 Colonies.
Fun vs. boring; forms connection and mutual understanding/respect between teacher and learner. Even UN recognizes value in incorporating pop culture!
