The New Wave of eLearning Technologies
Thursday, December 10, 1:00pm EST.

eLearning has come a long way since the start of the internet age. The original 28.8K modem speeds only allowed for text and static clip art based e-learning which was not very engaging to the end user. Fast forward to today when people can watch full motion video content on handheld devices via 3G broadband mobile networks. This opens up the ability to deploy very engaging media for eLearning over a broad array of devices. It also allows for immersive "3D" websites such as Second Life where a person can transform into an on screen "avatar" and interact within a realistic online 3D environment in real time along with other "avatars" (people) from around the world. Many people are using videogames and related programs and becoming accustomed to very interactive and engaging screen content. eLearning developed today must meet those expectations. This session will cover the new delivery platforms and show examples of eLearning deployed on each.
