The role multi-device elearning games and video can play in inspiring a love of learning will be explored at Learning Technologies 2016 by award-winning learning organisation, Sponge UK.

Sponge’s Managing Director, Louise Pasterfield will be hosting a seminar on enriching elearning by combining the latest technologies for effective results at Europe’s most important industry event from February 3-4 at Olympia, London.     

Pasterfield said: “Our clients often come to us looking for new ideas to boost their workplace learning, and in this seminar I will be outlining some of the approaches we’ve implemented for the organisations we work with. 

“I’ll be assessing the state of multi-device learning and explaining how to move it up a gear by incorporating technologies like games and video to keep learners connected and challenged. 

“I’ll be showing people an exciting example of multi-device elearning that we created for The Public Fundraising Association (PFRA), the membership body for charities and agencies carrying out face-to-face fundraising in the UK. 

“Their learner audience is predominantly under the age of 25 so coming up with a mobile-friendly, highly engaging approach was crucial to the success of the project.”  

Love to Learn! Ideas for using multi-device games & video in elearning takes place in Theatre 5 on February 3 from 11-11.30am and in Theatre 12 on Feb 4 from 2-2.30pm. 

The session, which is aimed at learning professionals, will include: 

• Using Adapt, the multi-device elearning framework to engage with learners
• How games can help people to learn
• How to use video to create an emotional connection
• Tips for inspiring a love of learning from pocket to PC
• A real-life case study showing effective implementation
