TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
We're looking for a speaker(s) for an event where we'll be discussing leveraging Web 2.0 technologies in learning design.
Here's the rough overview:
Presentation Synopsis:
User-generated content and information sharing are the key principles of Web 2.0 tools such as Flickr, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. Users are increasingly turning to these tools to add content and share ideas both at home and in the workplace. The purpose of this presentation is to look at how these Web 2.0 tools can be applied in learning design. More specifically, it may address the following:
- What are the strengths and weaknesses of using these media in course design?
- What are the benefits of using one media over another (wikis, discussion groups, podcasting, etc.)?
- How do you effectively evaluate the success of these tools in learning?
If anyone in the Ottawa area has any suggestions (or would like to be a speaker at the event), please let me know.
Cheers,
Kevin
