Hi CESI Friends -
It's been great being part of the CESI group for the past several
months! I realize that many list members work in the K-12 space, but
we wanted to let you know about a learning opportunity with a
workplace bent from
Training magazine, which we are
bringing to Ireland for the first time --
Innovations in
Training Dublin. It will take place following the World
Conference on Online Learning, which Dublin is hosting this year.
Innovations in Training is a Dublin field trip for learning and
development professionals who want to experience innovative ways to
push beyond traditional approaches to workplace learning and apply
new ways to design and deploy more engaging training. We will visit
several sites around Dublin where innovative approaches to learning
and training are happening.
We love for you to consider joining us, as well as share this
invitation with other learning colleagues who work in education,
higher ed, and corporate training. Let us know if you have any
questions - and hope to meet some of you in November!
Cheers,
Steve Dahlberg

=======================
Training Magazine’s Innovations in Training Dublin
to Showcase New Approaches to Learning at Work During November
Field Trip
Training magazine is bringing its popular Innovations in
Training (IIT) event to Dublin, Ireland, from November 7 to 9, in
conjunction with the World Conference on Online Learning that takes
place from November 3 to 7 at the Dublin Convention Centre.
Innovations in Training is a three-day Dublin field trip for
learning and development professionals who want to experience
innovative ways to push beyond traditional approaches to workplace
learning and apply new ways to design and deploy more engaging
training.
This event is limited to 50 participants who will gain
insider-access to cross-disciplinary organizations that are changing
the way people learn.
"We will be asking big questions about the future of education at
the ICDE World Conference on Online Learning, and are pleased to
feature cutting-edge workplace learning examples during the
post-conference Innovations in Training Dublin," says Professor Mark
Brown, conference chair and director of the National Institute for
Digital Learning at Dublin City University. "These events combine
the best research, theory and practice to help inspire trainers and
educators to design better, more engaging and impactful experiential
learning."
IIT Dublin features visits to cutting-edge simulation labs,
innovation centres and training sites, along with in-depth
Innovation Chats and immersive experiences that demonstrate
innovative approaches to learning at work.
Site visits include IBM Research Ireland, the Royal College of
Surgeons in Ireland, and Ernst & Young Dublin.
Innovators who will share their stories include Ernst & Young’s
Global Chief Learning Officer Brenda Sugrue; Skillnet Ireland’s
Executive Director Tracey Donnery; Steve Boucher and Travis May, two
senior learning leaders from Mastercard; Suzi Jarvis, the director
of the University College Dublin’s Innovation Academy; Dermot
O'Flynn, director of professional development at the Royal College
of Surgeons in Ireland; and several researchers from IBM.
An Immersive Lab will bring learning innovations to life, giving
participants an opportunity to try hands-on demos of emerging
technologies, such as virtual reality, augmented reality,
micro-simulations, and mobile learning.
"I learned there are very many ways to innovate and rediscovered my
motivation," says Michelle Stallard, training center team leader at
Rolls-Royce. "IIT has really motivated me to go back and share what
I've learned with my team and encouraged me to take initiative to
improve our business."
Sponsors and partners include EmpowerTheUser, Scrimmage, VRAI,
Dublin City University, Enterprise Ireland, and Skillnet Ireland.
Dublin is an ideal place to “go on the road” to see and touch and
experience how the future of learning is already happening. Ireland
is the epicenter of technology for learning, thanks to massive
investments from Enterprise Ireland and other accelerators. Irish
learning technologies are applied around the world, while higher
education institutions, like Dublin City University, are driving new
applications of digital learning and Massive Online Open Courses
(MOOCs).
Innovations in Training launched in 2016, in partnership with the
University of Central Florida’s Institute for Simulation &
Training, and has become a flagship experience of
Training magazine’s
two conferences in the United States – the Training Conference &
Expo, and the TechLearn Conference.
This Dublin-based event expands Innovations in Training outside of
the United States for the first time, and marks
Training magazine’s
return to Europe.
