Welcome to the social networking site for BYOL eLearning 2010. Use this network to find and connect with people at the conference.
Hello everyone, Jason Bickle had to recreate some of his files for his sessions and asked me to post them here. Here is the file for the Instructional Design Workshop, his Mobile Learning Session, the eLearning Tools/New To eLearning PreConference and a template for his mobile session.
To attendees - here's the final step which we didn't get to during the class. It was the last direction on the white board. This will allow Presenter to publish your file with the slide master image showing through behind the transparent Engage interaction. Go to: Articulate Tab - Presentation Options - then check the box "Include slide master behind quizzes and interactions" Hope this helps everyone finish off this project!
I wanted to send a quick "thank you" to everyone for being a part of BYOL eLearning 2010. I love this conference because it allows me to get to know everyone better than a large conference would. We hope you enjoyed yourselves and also hope to see you at one of our conferences in the future!
Hey everyone! Our presenters are our pride and joy, and we want to make sure we have the best available. After your sessions, we'd love it if you would take the time to fill out our presenter feedback survey for each session you attend (even if you've already rated the presenter). It will only take a minute and you can find the link here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/8VWMTPK Thanks everyone!

Anyone currently using Learn.com or Cornerstone On Demand LMS solutions? If so, I'd love to chat about your experience with them. Catch me between sessions or at the Keynote tonight. Thanks!
If anyone is interested in discussing social media at the conference, perhaps getting together for a dinner, let me know. We can all grab a bite to eat, chat about SM & E-Learning, which thus creates social learning and go beyond the standard FB, Twitter like apps, ppl r using.
Download session demo file if desired.
I'd love to pick anyone's brain that has taken this certification from Adobe, how valuable it was, how difficult it was, and what your ROI has been on it. I question with how often the version is upgrading how to know when and if the right time is to do this. Contact me via the site, or on twitter. Thanks!
Can you tell me where to find the session files?
Hi Everyone, One thing I forgot to mention in the session this morning- we have a twitter hashtag set up, so feel free to use it. It's just #byol2010 Thanks All!
Hey Everyone, We've made some changes to the shuttle. Because our numbers were growing a little more, in order to accommodate they've had to switch us to a bus, from the vans. This is good for you, in the sense that it will be a more comfortable ride. That being said, we have to be more strict on the schedule now. The schedule is the same as before (which I will paste again for your reference) but we will not be able to send any runs back for any... [read more]
I read on the site that parking passes would be available but then I read somewhere else on the community site that parking would be $25. http://elearning.byol.com/transport_lodging.php Any clarification would be greatly appreciated. Also noticed when I clicked on the 'Click here to see taxi services in the Montclair area' link it took me to hotels in the 07043 area code...one of the BYOL web-Gods might want to get that fixed seeing as I'm sure m...

Hello participants! Thank you for signing up for my session on aligning instruction using Bloom's Revised Taxonomy. To prepare for our session, please think about lesson plans or training programs that have not gone quite as you planned. Did learners complain that the assessment was too hard? That what they learned wasn't relevant to their job? Did too many fail the assessment? Did supervisors complain that there wasn't transfer to the job? This ... [read more]
Hello everyone, I've had a few questions about this recently, so I just wanted to let everyone know. We are currently packaging all of the session files together and will be sending them along today or tomorrow (let this also server as a reminder for those presenters we are still waiting on). We'll make sure you have the info you need to make this a great conference. We're looking forward to seeing you all next week! Chris Marcum Conference Direc... [read more]
anyone aware of a hotel that has a shuttle to the conference or is within walking distance?
I will be showing a course built entirely in HTML5 courtesy of the folks from eJ4 a custom course shop out of KC. The course will be seen on an iPad tablet via a HTML5 player, which is used in a LMS, that is optimized for tablets, including the iPad. Rarely do vendors have a HTML5 player in their system, although they may pitch that there system is optimized to be seen on an iPad or tablet. Rather, what they are saying is they are browser agnosti... [read more]
Hi conference attendees. I just finished a training in Articulate, and thought I'd add a bonus technique if you sign up for my session: Getting Your Learners to See the WIIFM in Social Media. I'll show you how to include a mobile device template when you're building out your training on social media platforms. This will help "make it real" as so much usage of the social media tools occurs on mobile devices. Check out this blog post to preview thi... [read more]
Folks, I am coming out from Wyoming. It looks like there are two choices for nearby airports to fly into, Newark Liberty Int'l or Laguardia. They seem similar distances, but would have to cross Manhattan to use Laguardia yet a round trip flight through there is cheaper. I have no idea what to expect for security screening lines or cost of transportation to the La Quinta. Any suggestions?
Please see my post in another discussion thread at the following link; http://community.byol.com/posts/show/14421278 Trying to avoid duplication
Hello everyone, I wanted to let ya'll know that we have added shuttle service from the Fairfield Inn. Shuttle passes cost $100, which will cover transportation to and from the conference facility all 3 days of the conference (10th, 11th, and 12th- including the banquet night). The shuttle will not be available during PreConference. If you will be staying at the Fairfield Inn and would like to add a shuttle pass to your registration, you can do so... [read more]
Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know that we've added a new PreConference session for Tuesday, November 9th. Here's the info: eLearning Tool Discovery - Let's Build Some Courses Selecting only one e-learning application is like giving a carpenter only one type of hammer. Discover that different content and needs drive the use of different e-learning tools, and how those tools may be used together to create a robust courses. In this session y... [read more]
How are you introducing Social Media to your organization? What tools/solutions are you using? What kind of users are you tasked with training these tools and communication styles to? How did you start building your strategy? Any success stories or challenges to share will be much appreciated!
Hello everyone. From what I've been reading, there is some concern with the cost of transportation to/from the hotels. I've contacted some shuttle services in the area for pricing options but first I would appreciate feedback from everyone. Of course in order to be able to schedule the shuttle we would need to reach a certain threshold of participation. The shuttle pass would include a ride from one of our two Marriott hotels to the Conference fa... [read more]
