LondonLearning NewsThe Learning Network

eLearning Network provides ‘Conversation Starter’ guide for Learning Technologies 2017 next week and offers attendees the chance to ‘ask the experts’.

2017 is the eLN’s 30th birthday. To celebrate, it’s giving everyone at Learning Technologies a set of ‘Conversation Starters’ - key questions to ask LMS, authoring tool and custom content vendors - which will be included in delegate bags.

More bespoke advice will be available at Stand S3, where eLN Directors are taking turns in the hot seat to answer elearning questions at the eLearning Network Walk-in Help Centre.

By providing an indispensable resource to every attendee and taking turns to give impartial, tailored advice, eLN Directors are hoping to demonstrate the benefits of eLN membership to a wide audience.

The eLN mentoring scheme is another key member benefit and Directors are appealing for new mentors to sign up on the day.

"I'm really looking forward to kicking off the eLN's 30th year at Learning Tech on 1-2 February and meeting as many members and industry partners as possible," comments Phil Reddall, new Chair of the Board of Directors at the eLearning Network.

"We have some exciting plans for our stand and even more exciting plans for the rest of our birthday year. I didn't think it was possible to have a more energized board than we did over the last two years," he continues.

"But based on the year so far we'll be more active than ever in 2017: bringing the network to life and delivering a great organization for our members. Exciting times," he adds.

Kicking off a packed year of workshops and meet-ups, the first eLearning Network event in 2017 is an opportunity to meet the winners of the 2016 Learning Technologies Awards which takes place at Aviva’s Digital Garage in Hoxton, London, on 24 March from 10:00 - 16:30. The event is free but available only to signed-up eLN members who pay a small yearly fee. Online registration is available at http://www.elearningnetwork.org/eln-events/awardshowcase/.
