Learning in 3D
When: Thursday, May 20th, 2010 : 11:00AM - 12:00PM EST
Forward-thinking executives, managers, faculty members, and training professionals are already using 3D environments to design, develop, and collaborate internationally and are seeing real benefits both financial and performance-based. Organizations that fail to leverage this technology in the near future will be left behind.
Understanding the impact that 3D environments, virtual worlds, and immersive learning spaces will have on society, business, and learning is a challenge but also critically important for the future.
Corporations, academic institutions, and government agencies must develop a clear understanding of how virtual immersive environments will impact global interactions, knowledge transfer, work transactions, and existing learning paradigms.
The authors of the acclaimed book, Learning in 3D: Adding a New Dimension to Enterprise Learning and Collaboration (www.learningin3d.info), will provide an overview of practical, research-based recommendations and techniques for integrating existing training, business, and computer systems into productive 3D virtual work environments. This webinar will offer insights into innovative methods already being used in a variety of settings by early adopters.
What you will learn:
Participants will learn the reasons why learning leaders should care about 3D learning, what they should consider if contemplating the use of 3D learning, and how to get started with creating a 3D learning and collaboration environment within their organizations. Additionally, they will gain a clear picture of the value proposition of learning in 3D environments.
