Our monthly meetings are designed for all: the employed, the self-employed and those in transition. The goal is to enhance your technology awareness, share the most current thinking on training and help people learn while providing opportunities to network with your colleagues. The meeting will be divided into three parts: tech talk, key note speaker and networking.

TECH TALK Joseph Favero, Solution Engineer, Blackboard Inc., "Blackboard Mobile Learning"
What is your mobile strategy?  Students expect to be able to access online learning and training using their mobile devices. This presentation will demonstrate two Blackboard mobile learning apps; one enables mobile users to interact with existing Blackboard courses in a native mobile environment; the other allows clients to create their own personal branded app for their corporation, providing instant access to all their training courses.

KEY NOTE
Pam Boiros- “Developing a Mobile Learning Strategy” With smartphones becoming commonplace and new mobile devices such as tablets skyrocketing in popularity, the interest in mobile learning has begun to heat up as well. Many organizations see the promise of mobile learning, but actual implementations are still rare. Is now the time to take the plunge into mobile learning or should you wait for a more stable mobile landscape to emerge?

In this presentation, you will:
•    Learn the difference between mobility vs. portability when applied to learning activities.
•    Explore the different devices suitable for different learning content types.
•    Be provided a framework to begin thinking about the challenges and opportunities for mobile learning within your organization.
