World-renowned keynote speakers, case studies, panel discussions and product training sessions will highlight the event.

GeoLearning's Manager of Client Learning Services, Dr. Matthew Casey, discusses his recommendations for organizations preparing virtual instructor-led training (VILT) content and curricula in the podcast "Your Successful Virtual Classroom: Best Practices for VILT." Casey cautions that VILT requires more interactivity (once every five minutes, he suggests) to work correctly than a typical instructor-led course. Repurposing an ILT PowerPoint as a VILT course doesn't allow the instructor to know if learners are following along and understanding the information, without being able to see their non-verbal feedback. Interactivity engages the audience and lets the instructor ask poll questions to find out if learners are on track.

GeoLearning's Senior Product Specialist, J.R. Wymer, discusses the new GeoLearning Mobility™ solution in the podcast "Trends in Mobile Learning." With tremendous growth and integration in the mobile device industry, a trend that Wymer says will keep increasing over time, GeoLearning's new mobility solution allows users to utilize these devices to complement their formal training and to train customers and channel partners in the extended enterprise. Although other trends are emerging, Wymer says these two are rising to the top.

In the podcast “No Login Required: Opening your LMS to an External Audience ,” GeoLearning’s Chris Lennon, senior product manager, discusses the new open site functionality in the GeoMaestro Learning Management System (LMS) and the value it brings to an organization. With open site, organizations can configure a secondary entrance to their LMS that allows audiences outside of the organization (extended enterprise customers, resellers, partners, etc.) to consume information before they login to the site. While you don’t have to have eCommerce in order to use Open Site, if you are an eCommerce user Lennon says it goes hand in hand.
