Relevant Audience: eLearning developers, web-based trainers, multimedia training developers, L&D managers
Learning Objectives:
Description: Have you noticed that your learners are just hitting “next” in your e-Learnings and not really retaining much of the information presented? In this presentation James Hilburn and Dorothy Thomas will discuss concepts that could be used instead of having your learner sit in front of an hour long e-Learning course, hitting “next” on every slide, and not retaining the information you need them to understand. They will discuss topics and issues they have seen while developing e-Learning courses and share ideas on how to move beyond the typical e-Learning course.
Speaker: James Hilburn, Technical Design & Development Lead, SWBC; Dorothy Thomas, Technical Design & Development Specialist, SWBC
Background: James Hilburn has been working in some form of training for over the last 20 years. Working as a youth minister at his church, he worked with youth in middle school and high school. Once he moved into the business world, he took those years of training and put his skills to work. Working with adults in the financial industry, he taught everything from phone etiquette to working with IRAs, 401ks and 529 College savings plans. He now leads a team at SWBC that utilizes multimedia to teach internal and external clients on products and services that are offered at SWBC. He also spends a lot of time teaching his three young children about life, sports, education, and how to eat at the table without making a mess.
Dorothy Thomas is a Technical Design and Development Specialist who joined the SWBC team in January of 2016. She has over 16 years of Multi-Media Design experience and uses her knowledge to create and develop training resources for all departments and divisions. In addition, she is currently enrolled at The University of North Texas and will be earning her Master’s in Applied Technology & Performance Improvement with an emphasis in Instructional Design in 2017. She also has two sons, one who is in the United States Army, 82nd Airborne Division and the other a Sophomore at UTSA, both of whom she is extremely proud of.
