Roadblocks to Learning Technology: How to go around, over, and through the roadblocks to a successful eLearning implementation

Please join us as CMASTD and NELA come together to present a lively panel discussion on the Roadblocks to Learning Technology.

Come learn about the roadblocks to deploying learning technology and what strategies can be used to avoid the potential pitfalls. The session will begin with Michael Brennan, Principal Consultant at Knowledge-Infusion and former industry analyst and Program Director for IDC’s Learning Services research programs. Michael will be talking about blended learning best practices, strategy development as well as where he sees the future trends of Learning Technology.

The second half of the session will be a panel discussion featuring:

• Adam O’Toole – Manager of Vertical University at Vertical Communications. Adam will discuss the design and development of Vertical University, an online tool that provides product training to all of Vertical Communications resellers and distributors.
• Patricia Gugliotta – Manager of Sales Training for DePuy Spine. Patricia will discuss DePuy Spine’s migration from sharing an internal training site to the development of a dedicated external site that provides online learning to a national 600 person sales and reseller team.
• Mark Siegal – Principal at MSA Solutions. Mark will discuss how Genzyme created learning programs with a goal to foster broader exchange of cross-functional and business knowledge related to how products are produced at Genzyme.

Bring your notepad and questions, as the panel will be open to discussion from the audience as to what the biggest roadblocks are and how to avoid them.
