Oh boy! This year at DevLearn, I am going to be BUSY! And that’s fantastic. DevLearn is one of my favourite conferences because from an industry-perspective, it’s incredibly relevant and on-the-pulse, and I get to network with so many of my favourite people (and meet new folks!). If you’re an Instructional Designer or E-Learning Developer and are looking for a fun, worthwhile, and practical conference to attend: DevLearn is it!<\/p>\n

This year I’ll be doing a few things:<\/p>\n

Delivering a Pre-Conference Certificate Workshop: Introduction to Instructional Design<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year over at Sprout E-Learning<\/a>, I launched a course, Essentials of Instructional Design<\/a>. This course has been getting fantastic reception, and is large, in-charge, and very comprehensive. The workshop I’m delivering at DevLearn<\/a> will be a condensed version of Essentials of Instructional Design (we only have 8 hours!), and my hope is that it demystifies the field, generates interest in Instructional Design, and provides folks with some of the theoretical underpinnings of the field.<\/p>\n

Right now there are nearly 50 participants registered for the workshop, which is exciting and terrifying, and I’m hoping a few more jump on the bandwagon – I want to meet you all and preach the gospel of Instructional Design! There will be a workbook, there will be 50 new friends for you to meet, and there will be some fun activities – go sign up now<\/a> if you’re interested in any of those things!<\/p>\n

This workshop will be delivered on Monday, October 22nd.<\/p>\n

Facilitating a Morning Buzz on Building Your E-Learning Portfolio<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Wednesday, October 24th, I’ll be facilitating a morning buzz (7:30-8:15am) on Building Your E-Learning Portfolio, a topic that is near and dear to my heart. Morning Buzz’ are very casual conversations that are guided by a facilitator, so you just need to show up with your coffee, tea, water (whatever your liquid of choice is) and groggily engage in a discussion, ask questions, and wake up a bit.<\/p>\n

Delivering a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Session on Using Variables in Articulate Storyline<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Thursday, October 25th, I’ll be delivering a BYOD session: Articulate Storyline 360 Let’s Get Variable! These sessions are hands on and are always a ton of fun. I’m always overly ambitious about what I can show folks in 1 hour, so it’s always fast and furious. I delivered this session 2 years ago at DevLearn and it was standing room only….so this year I’ll be bringing more thumb drives with files and some takeaway materials.<\/p>\n

In this session, I’ll be showing you how to use variables to control navigation and create custom progress meters (I told you I’m ambitious).<\/p>\n

Participating in DemoFest (Tentative)<\/strong><\/p>\n

I haven’t heard back just yet, but my hope is that I’ll be participating in DemoFest on Thursday, October 25th from 4-6pm. There’s a project I worked on earlier in the year that I was particularly proud of, so I’m hoping to show it off and see whether it engages others.<\/p>\n

What Else Will I Get Up To?!<\/strong><\/p>\n

To be honest, Las Vegas is not my favourite place, but this year I’m hoping to hit up the Grand Canyon and a Las Vegas Golden Knights game among many dinners\/coffees\/drinks with new and old friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
