Empowering people to explore and develop themselves holistically is my passion. I strive to evoke transformation in people by creating programs to enable them to become curious learners who develop the tech skills needed for the jobs of today and tomorrow. On December 17, 2018, I joined AWS Educate and the Cloud Degree team. 2019 was the year of global higher education disruption. I developed an in-depth competency framework. Then working directly with leaders and educators at over 140 higher education institutions globally l, we used the competency framework to build and implement cloud computing curriculum and degree programs gaining publicity world-wide.

Using MS Teams, Slack & other collaboration platforms to deploy chatbots for learning
The “work from home” phenomenon that Covid-19 caused has been a major catalyst in the proliferation of workplace collaboration platforms like Microsoft Teams and Slack. It is now possible to have chatbots on these platforms facilitate workplace learning and performance support in an unprecedented way. Chatbots can now be programmed to reach more employees with learning content, reminders and job aids. This session showcases common use cases on these platforms and how to set them up.

How to Create Exceptional Mobile Learning with Rise
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced a profound shift in our collective thinking around mobile learning. Overnight, every organization has had to embrace it. Yesterday's “expectation” that training should work on mobile devices is now an imperative. With everyone working remotely while simultaneously juggling the needs of their families, learners cannot be tied to a desktop computer to learn. Companies simply cannot train people without making their training mobile-friendly. But creating mobile learning hasn't always been easy. Between authoring apps designed for delivering slide-based experiences and not scrolling web-like experiences, to Learning Management Systems that weren't designed for viewing content on mobile devices, the entire tech stack for creating mobile learning was outdated. And that's why we created Rise.com.
In this session, you'll learn how the process of creating mobile learning has evolved over the last 5 years—and even the last 6 months. We'll show you how the traditional authoring app + LMS tech stack failed to deliver learners with a seamless mobile learning experience, and how it didn't scale to meet the needs of businesses, either. Finally, we'll walk you through a simple process you can use to quickly and easily create, share, track, and analyze mobile learning in Rise.com. You'll leave this session with new insights into the important role mobile learning can play in your training strategy, and how Rise.com, an all-in-one training system, can help anyone create engaging multi-device learning—no coding skills required.
In this session, we'll show you:
- Why mobile learning will continue to be an essential component of your training strategy—even after COVID-19
- How the process of creating mobile learning has evolved
- How a modern online training system like Rise.com helps you achieve in hours what used to take weeks or months
- A simple process anyone can use to quickly and easily create, share, track, and analyze mobile learning in Rise.com

First, you’ll learn strategies for interviewing subject matter experts to get the stories you’ll need to tell. Next, you’ll learn tips for using instructional design strategies to build stories into your courses. Finally, we’ll discuss bringing stories to life using dialogue and imagery.
In this session, you will learn:
• Ways to interview subject matter experts to unearth the story the course needs to tell

The Cognitive Science of Video
M
any learning producers get training video ideas from popular forms of media including social media, entertainment, and commercials. But are those methods useful when producing a training video? Many videos that move us emotionally are not set up properly to transfer knowledge. In many cases, these training videos make an attempt to inject emotional elements like music, animation, and humor but these techniques fall flat when the main objective of the video is to transfer information. Optimal training videos use strategic emotional elements combined with video based information, presented with a low cognitive load.
In this session, you'll learn how cognitive studies illustrate methods for creating an optimally-formatted knowledge transfer video. You'll learn how to strategically use emotion in your training video to grab the viewers' attention or send them on a call to action. You'll explore various techniques to display content on the screen that reduces cognitive load and allows for ease of information processing. Learn the secrets for creating long-form training videos that maintain learner attention by using emotional fence posts. Next, you'll look at the importance of information priming and reflection in a short form training video, and the various techniques used at the beginning and end of your video. Walk away with video recipes that you can use to create your own training videos.
In this session, you will learn:
- What cognitive science studies impact video creation
- How to structure an optimal training video
- How to strategically use emotion
- How to reduce cognitive load
- What is priming and reflection
- How to use a video recipe
For over 25 years, I've been creating educational videos and e-learning content, and now I want to share my knowledge with the world! My mission is to teach everyone the secrets of creating enduring instructional videos. These videos can be for a flipped classroom, marketing, product knowledge, changing an attitude or belief, how something works, or any experience you need to share.
