The advent of so-called Web 2.0 technologies suggests new models for learning that move beyond a simple blend of delivery modes to a more learnercentric amalgam of instructional strategies. The real instructional value depends on how it is used—the technology can serve up useless noise or dynamic, relevant applications. In this session, we’ll look at “remixed” learning solutions that contextualize best practices within a broad spectrum of collaborative formats. Each remix specs out a baseline of information delivery, knowledge recall, skills development, and performance mastery—providing a benchmark and a starting place for customizing a participant’s own design. Learners will take away a toolkit of remix strategies aimed at: product knowledge; business processes and procedures; leadership and soft skills; mandatory and compliance; IT and systems; and new hire orientation. They will also learn a set of criteria for customizing each remix strategy to fit the context of their organization’s specific needs.
