Looking for a bit of eLearning inspiration? We found it at ATD22!
Touchdown in Orlando – and after long lines and airport chaos, we couldn’t have been more excited to be at the first live event we’ve attended in the past few years: ATD22 Orlando! This year’s event was exceptional on a few levels.
First, there’s a lot of pent-up energy to reconnect face-to-face with the learning community and discover the latest in L&D firsthand. And while we’ve all made great leaps working virtually, nothing gets us quite as pumped as LIVE!
Second, we make attending ADT and other L&D events a priority at Redwood and experience has shown it’s one of the best investments a learning organization can make. Here are just a few of the benefits:
Inspiring Technology:
It’s easy to get siloed as an organization and place less priority on constant innovation. Industry events like ATD land you in the middle of the trends shaping eLearning now and on the immediate horizon. That can’t help but get you thinking about how emerging transformative technologies can enhance the products and experiences you offer clients.
Inspiring People:
ATD is a global conference attended by many of the world’s foremost L&D leaders, and we were keen to take in their insights - whether that was by attending a presentation or joining a conversation during a break. Getting the perspectives of L&D thought leaders is not just inspiring; it’s also essential if you are truly committed to leading the curve.
Inspiring Insight:
We’ve seen that not all learning is effective learning and how important it is to engage your learner fully. Context is key. Learning styles change as people adapt to new work environments and technologies. With change happening so rapidly, gaining the latest learning technologies and strategies is no longer a luxury but a necessity.
So what inspired us at ATD22?
- Plug and play no longer works: Why you need to build a pathway using hybrid models and skills taxonomy.
- It’s situational: Our journey from traditional to blended learning experiences and how it can benefit your team.
- Cohort Based Learning: How it is transforming online education and why you should consider this option.
- DEI: We were excited to see so many sessions focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our team is a Canadian leader on this critical subject, and I will share the DEI measuring, proving, and improving techniques we learned at ATD22.
