For the first time, the Canadian Society for Training & Development (CSTD) will be holding its Symposium outside of Ontario. The 2005 Learning Innovations Symposium will be held in Fredericton on 16 & 17 May. We expect an intimate gathering of about 200 attendees and another 200 or so for the live webcasts. The event will be digitally archived. The host agency is LearnNB, of which I’m a member and I will be presenting, with my colleague Albert Lejeune, two sessions, one French & one English, on a case study of a healthcare project that we did with my partner company, Mancomm Performance.
Apprentissage et communautique en services de santé
En 2003-2004, l’équipe Mancomm Performance a collaboré avec le Centre hospitalier Pierre-Le Gardeur (Lachenaie, QC), à la mise en place d’un cours en ligne pour les infirmières portant sur l’approche McGill, ainsi qu’à la création de communautés de praticiens. Depuis l’analyse de la performance au travail jusqu’à la livraison sur des plateformes MOODLE et MAMBO (logiciels libres), l’équipe a travaillé étroitement avec le personnel hospitalier au moyen d’ontologies de domaine. Dans cette séance, vous allez :
- Apprendre comment faire une analyse de performance avant de recommander l’apprentissage en ligne
- Comprendre l’importance des ontologies dans la création des bases de connaissances.
- Comprendre les bénéfices des logiciels libres pour le support à la performance.
- Comprendre la méthodologie, DECLICK, utilisée par l’équipe.
eLearning and Communities of Practice in Healthcare
During 2003 to 2004, Mancomm Performance Inc worked with the Pierre LeGardeur Hospital in the Montreal area to implement online learning for nurses as they adopted the new McGill nursing care methodology, as well as the creation of virtual communities of practice for social workers. From the initial performance analyses conducted on the hospital wards, to the implementation of the open source Moodle and Mambo technology systems, the consultants worked closely with the hospital staff in the development of their knowledge base, using domain ontologies.
- Learn about the need to conduct a performance analysis prior to recommending any e-learning intervention
- Learn how ontologies can help with the creation of shared professional knowledge bases
- Learn about the benefits of using open source software for workplace performance support
- Learn about the DECLICK methodology developed by the Mancomm team
Other guests include Clark Aldrich, Jay Cross and Stephen Downes. The price is very reasonable [as low as $(CA) 299 or $(US)247] and you can get a discount on CSTD membership as well. Hope to see you there.
