Online Symposium on Simulations at The eLearning Guild

Posted on January 17, 2006 by Tom King

This one looks interesting, and doesn’t require travel.

Elearning Simulation and Games Symposium February 8-10, 2006 | Online

Based on the published agenda, I’d check out these sessions:

  • The State of Simulations and Games in e-Learning (Clark Aldrich)
  • Everything You Know About Simulation is Wrong (Rich Mesch)
  • Engaging Learning: Effective Simulation Games By Design (Clark Quinn)
  • Mobile Learning Games and Simulations (David Metcalf)

There are several interesting sessions on using Adobe Flash for elearning, and it looks like Frank Hanfland of safety-kleen will be updating and expanding his Macromedia MAX 05 presentation with additional information on ROI and business drivers for elearning simulations.

Registration is $495 USD for Guild members or $619 standard rate. Joining the guild for $99 is definitely worth it; you get discounts for their conferences as well as the online events, and access to the eLearning Guild library of polls, research and articles about elearning.
