Let’s learn from each other! Join us to learn some new tools and how-to’s! In this session, you’ll hear from several chapter members as they share tools, resources and how-to’s for enhancing training. The session will be structured with short fast-paced presentations focused on things you can obtain and/or do using without significant expense or training. Our potluck will feature:

App of the Week
Tom Thibodeau, Assistant Provost, New England Institute of Technology

Can You Really Measure Learning?
Trudy Mandeville, CEO, TCP Learning
For the last decade, instructional technology promised a lot without being able to deliver. But has Experience xAPI (TinCan, xAPI) changed that? It has and this is an opportunity to share some of the exciting opportunities as well as challenges.


Developing Better Tests: Best Practices & Resources
Jonathan Seeley, Instructional Designer, Fidelity Investments
Come away with a resource to develop tests that are an "opportunity for respondents", as opposed to an experience to be avoided (Westgaard). You’ll also be introduced to a job aid containing best practices for developing test questions. General best practices as well as tips and examples for specific question types will be included.

Pia Proal, President, Real Cool Productions
How do you decide that your content is suitable for animation and then what's next.
