Video and Comedy Expert Stephen Haskin to appear at Brain Matters 2015, November 10-11

 

I'm so excited to have Steve Haskin join our list of elite presenters at Brain Matters 2015.  

 

Steve and I are collaborating on several presentations that you will see at industry conferences next year. Stephen Haskin, Chief Creator at Industrial Strength Learning, directs and consults for eLearning projects and video and is the author of  several books about media and learning. He has worked with digital video and eLearning since the late 1980s, and he has been at the forefront of streaming media

 

Steve has embraced the digital world of audio/video and the equipment we trainers and teachers use. He is a firm believer in the value of humor to enhance learning, drawing his comic inspiration from a combination of Monty Python, Mad Magazine, The Firesign Theater and others. He's won numerous awards and recognition for his work, including Telly Awards, Addies, regional Emmys and Aurora Awards as well as recognition from many corporate clients.  

 

In keeping with the conference theme "How to Bring Out the Genius in You" Steve will talk about how video engages the brain and how the practical application of neuroscience can enhance any learning experience. It sounds more complex than it is! But you'll have to come to the conference to find out.



Join us at Brain Matters 2015: We've got an exciting line-up of speakers committed to this online event and we'll be featuring them in future issues of this newsletter. But don't wait to buy your ticket! We have a limited number of seats and we expect them to sell quickly!

This week's podcast features Joe Ganci, also know and "elearning Joe", an eLearning consultant  with a long and illustrious track record. He is the recipient of the 2013 Guildmaster Award and Joe's design approaches and expert use of development tools have helped many to improve their eLearning design and development, including me. Joe's personal, hands-on style keeps him constantly in demand with many clients all over the world so I really appreciate that he took the time to meet with us today.

Joe is on a mission to improve the quality of eLearning with practical approaches that work. Those of you who know me might think this mission sounds a bit familiar, since I'm on a mission to find practical applications of neuroscience to learning that work.

One of Joe's specialties is his expertise in authoring systems for the creation of custom e-learning applications. I ask Joe to share his views on various authoring systems and how we can use them to create more brain-aware learning experiences in this podcast.
