Using Next Generation Technology To Create Learning On Demand: edCentra Training - May 12, 4 pm
This session will explore current trends in web technology and their influence on how people access content. Google(r) and similar search engines may very well be the best eLearning system ever created, and certainly one of the most efficient content management systems. The 'search engine' has changed how people learn and their expectations on being able to access content when they need it. As the amount of information grows and our access to it becomes easier, the need to structure content and make it intelligent so that it can be understood by machines becomes critical. What happens when you take the paradigm of the search engine, combine next generation cloud computing technology and use 'intelligent content' as your base? A very powerful engine for supporting learning on demand that uses the most ubiquitous platform in our world today - the Internet. Come and explore the future of learning!
