MARICOPA, AZ—(Marketwired – September 07, 2016) – Elearning! Media Group, publishers of Elearning! and Government Elearning! magazines, announced today the event program for the Government Learning Technology Symposium. Elearning! Magazine is the media partner of Federal Government Distance Learning Association (FDGLA) and host of GLTS.
“We are happy to host the GLTS as a free conference program for government personnel engaged in distance learning, e–learning, and any technology enabled learning initiative,” reports Jolly Holden, Executive Director, FGDLA.
GLTS will hold several sessions focused on effective use of technologies for distance learning at the two–day Government Learning Technology Symposium (GLTS). Sessions include: Making Video Content Readily Available and Easily Accessible at the Time and Point of Need, Assistive Technologies (AT) and Distance Learning and A World Without Plugins – HTML 5, WebGL.
With the emergence of mobile technology and the wide amount of live and on–demand supported video content, it's the perfect time to discover the best practices of harnessing the power of these mediums. Making Video Content Readily Available and Easily Accessible at the Time and Point of Need provides insight and guidance to learning, video/media and IT professionals on what organizations are doing to educate, inform and support employee development.
Assistive Technologies (AT) and Distance Learning addresses how persons with disabilities can access web content with several use cases leveraging Assistive Technologies. It is vitally important to create accessible distance learning courses and learning management systems for all. Many resources will be shared to enable accessibility.
Many of the popular training solutions offered today rely on proprietary plugins. Can training survive in a world without them? A World Without Plugins – HTML 5, WebGL addresses the turning tide as HTML 5, WebGL, and other plugin–free technologies mature, becoming more widely adopted and what organizations can do to orchestrate that sea of change.
“Professionals are accessing content anywhere, anytime, on many devices,” says Catherine Upton, Publisher, Elearning! Media Group. “We now see the emergence of intelligent systems and a 'plug free' world. It's an exciting time to be in the learning industry and many new technologies are emerging.”
