Too often learning experiences are designed for the ease of the producer, the preferences of the subject matter expert (SME) and the needs of the IT team. A learning solution is then efficiently created, covering everything the SME can think of and using the IT department’s technology, tools and templates. The users are the most important stakeholders in your learning design project. In this session Rob will share some of the techniques LAS use to design with the users, crafting experiences that solve their problems and meet their needs. He will also help you explore the 30+ forms of digital learning now available and when they might be appropriate.
1150 - 1210	eLearning or Blended Learning? The superiority of modern forms of education in foreign languages	Michał Lach	eTutor

You will find out how to accelerate the learning process and halve the number of lessons with a teacher at the same time. I will explain why and when e-learning is the most effective method of learning, and why Blended Learning used in the Flipped Cassroom formula is the fastest method of learning a foreign language. I will also talk about language skills that are decidedly easier to develop through e-learning, and how to create an optimal mix of language e-learning with conversation. I will present the principles of the modern eTutor Flipped Blended Learning method, which uses the largest Polish platform for learning English.

So, it would seem logical that the smartphone can also create exciting new opportunities for learning and professional development … and it does! In this session Andy Lancaster explores 10 ways in which the smartphone can facilitate learning and some key personal and organisational implications in maximising these opportunities. The session will also include reflections on how work, the workplace and workforce is changing which make the smartphone a vital tool for learning.
1410 - 1440	Selection, implementation and value - implementing Cornerstone platform at Softserve	Christina Wilhelm, Viktor Karatov, Michał Strzelec	Cornerstone/Softserve
	Summary: Selecting a learning management system is easy. Or is it not? One has to make sure that the users will like the tool, administrators will have appropriate support and flexibility to prepare the training for employees, and IT department will be pleased with the possibility of integration. Additionally, the solutions has to be safe and management board will keep funds for other investments. Is that all? No, there are other numerous criteria – we will talk about how not to get lost and do ‘your homework’ correctly studying the example of a large Ukrainian company that operates globally. The selection is the first step, then there is implementation, and finally daily use. Though we have only 30 minutes, we will bring each of these stages closer to you. Softserve i Cornerstone. One goal, a shared journey.
1440 - 1505	The paradox of e-learning: expensive, yet at the same time cheap	Robert Wróblewski	iPro
	Summary: Questions and discussions about the cost of developing e-training or implementing e-learning solutions often decide whether to introduce a particular solution. The suppliers of these solutions frequently hear this question: “why is it so expensive?”, and rarely such questions are asked when buying traditional courses. It is obvious there: one has to pay for quality, trainer’s work, logistics, didactic and methodical responsibility. Hence, I am astonished by the earlier question. For the answer is simple: one has to pay for quality, the work of consultants and developers, graphic designers, animators, scriptwriters, methodologists, for didactic and methodical responsibility and preparation time. Training service is a specific kind of service in which its duplication in the traditional sense has its significant restrictions; training service in the “e” form lifts those restrictions. Buying e-learning we buy the time, the standard of content delivery, a wide range of training interactions and the freedom of participating at a specific time. I will reveal more about e-learning being cheap and expensive in my session.
1505 - 1520	Coffee break, networking
1520 - 1550	Embracing digital body language	Jo Cook	Online Teaching Expert
	Summary: Jo Cook will explore the future of digital learning by looking at the new paradigm of digital body language: How we can deconstruct our traditional behaviour to understand the remote actions of our learners? What are the different communication methods we need to interact with our digital attendees? How can we be confident in delivering in a live online environment when we can’t see other people?
1550 - 1610	Mind Sonar – discover how people think and use it in learning, retaining your employees and recruitment processes	Anna Flis, Jowita Spychalska	Training Designers
	Summary: Imagine you have a mind sonar, thanks to which you can find out: What is actually important for your employees? What motivates people to reach their goals? How do your best employees think? Such a tool already exists and is used all over the world. It gives a huge dose of knowledge supporting change of mental strategies, attitude and behaviour. It is Mindsonar. During this mini workshop you will learn more about how to use this online tool in your company to achieve better results, increase motivation, improve communication, adjust learning processes, raise employees’ and customers’ satisfaction and build a good team.
1610 - 1630	How To Design Engaging Learning Content	Daniel Whiston	Instructional Designer
	Summary: Designing content to engage people while they learn online is something every e-learning producer aspires to. But too often, content ends-up being dull, text-heavy and something learners skim through as quickly as possible. In this presentation, Daniel will work through some case studies focusing on the effective, creative use of: Infographics Animations Scenarios Videos Games Comics
1630 - 1700	Panel discussion: Learning and un-learning – developing agile and mobile e-learning systems	Marta Machalska, Anna Kęsik, Perry Timms, Andy Lancaster, Adam Skrzyński, Piotr Podgórski
	A long, long time ago, organisations and their actions were stable and provided people with work for the whole lifetime. Nowadays, company structures are flat, which allows quick implementation of the changes, immediate engagement of the people, delegating responsibility downward. Processes in business develop together with technology, and customer service has to adjust to the dynamic social changes. The responsibility for learning rests on the employees today. And it concerns everyone: presidents of the board, directors, specialists, social workers, teachers, politicians. Those who take the initiative to learn the new will surf the wave. And if they learn the new, they need to unlearn the old.
