Kallidus will be helping L&D professionals understand how they can make user-generated content (UGC) a dynamic part of their learning mix at Learning Technologies Summer Forum, Olympia Exhibition Hall, 13 June 2017.

Product Innovator Tim Drewitt will be sharing hot-off the press highlights from Kallidus’ survey into how organisations are using UGC to create a more collaborative learning environment in his seminar “User-generated content: The ultimate springboard to collaborative learning or just the latest craze?”.

After Tim’s presentation at 11.45am in Theatre 2 and at stand 1, Kallidus will be giving away a brand new pocket guide to UGC titled “Everything you need to know about user-generated content”. This handy guide is packed full of practical tips for empowering and engaging today’s modern learners through UGC. Kallidus will also be showcasing its innovative Kallidus Learn platform and prototype for user-generated content at stand 1.

Tim Drewitt, Kallidus’ Product Innovator said: “UGC has become one of the learning industry’s latest buzzwords so I’m really looking forward to sharing the results of the UGC survey we have just conducted among L&D professionals. In my seminar I’ll be contrasting the aspirations of those yet to embrace UGC, with the experiences of those who already are in order to address some of the myths and concerns surrounding UGC as well as showing how UGC is a great way to engage the business in learning.”
