Improve Learning Outcomes using Laughter with Christee Atwood
09/09/20 • 39 min
The emotional state of your learners has a big impact on your success as an instructor. How you make them feel may not seem important but it is. And I'm pretty sure there is neuroscience research to support that claim. Even if there isn't, who doesn't like to laugh and have fun while they're learning?
We're excited to have Christee Atwood as our guest helping us link laughter and learning. But that's not all. We'll also discuss how to produce successful online virtual training sessions when the audience is skeptical and not very motivated to participate. She'll share a broad range of experiences in corporate training that are sure to tickle your funny bone.
"I am the author of 14 books, and counting. I have presented programs from Texas to Tokyo, California to the Caribbean And I've never been hit by a rotten tomato yet. That either means I'm doing well, or that people have more respect for rotting produce than they used to.
I write books on business and training topics, as well as humorous books, and occasionally the two overlap." - Christee Atwood

Sip'n'snap: Stop Motion Animation Using Mobile Devices for eLearning with Kevin Thorn, CNH
Searching for new ways to create engaging media elements in training projects is an ongoing challenge for most designers. Animation beyond the standard effects require deeper thought in design and often involves additional skills in a variety of tools. And the barriers to learning new animation software results in not pursuing a more engaging approach. With smartphone cameras, available apps and software, we can dramatically reduce those barriers and get started with designing creative stop-motion animation videos to tell stories, explain processes, and more.
Lucky for us, Kevin Thorn has a talent stack filled with creativity and he's willing to share those skills with all of us. Join us for an amazing conversation and instructional session on how anyone can use their mobile device for creating stop motion animation elements for eLearning projects. You may already know Kevin from our Drink'n'draw sessions, and so you don't want to miss this Sip'n'Snap session that is sure to level up your eLearning development skillset.
Kevin is an award-winning eLearning designer & developer, consultant, and owner of NuggetHead Studioz, LLC., a boutique custom design and development studio specializing in online learning experiences.
