DETAILS:
Today's learners face a number of real challenges in finding the appropriate resources and materials that can positively impact their education and provide the necessary tools for ongoing personal and career development. Although individuals seek learner-centric resources that expand their skills when needed, help solve problems and add value, traditional courses and learning methods often prove to be ineffective and fall short of expectations.
During this complimentary webinar, Laurie Burruss, education consultant for lynda.com, will define personalized learning and explain how online video technology can meet the needs of today's learners. Burruss will explore how such solutions foster confidence, improve motivation and encourage productivity in individuals. Attendees will evaluate their current state and future goals and identify a roadmap and resources for achieving those goals.
As an education consultant at lynda.com, Burruss supports the company's academic initiatives and evangelizes all things higher education. In addition to her services at lynda.com, she serves as a full professor in Interaction Design and chair of Digital Media at Pasadena City College, where, during the past 19 years, she has acted as a regional resource for the state of California in an effort to advance collaboration between education, industry and the community.
"Personalized Education: A Roadmap to On-Your-Own Learning" is designed for professionals in learning and development, human resources and training, talent management and anyone responsible for improving performance within an organization who wish to learn how online video contributes to personalized education and development.
