Do you know how to cook more than five dishes, but end up making the same three or four recipes on a regular basis? If your answer is yes, you’re not alone. Many of us know how to cook much more than the tuna casserole we prepare every other Tuesday. The same is true for training delivery techniques: Whether we’ve been in the industry for a month, a year, or a decade, we have a pantry filled with different delivery activities, but we tend to stick with our same old go-to activities.
If you are a talent development professional looking to spice up your training delivery techniques, an instructional designer looking for intriguing flavors to add zest to programs, or simply have an appetite for learning about the newest trends in training delivery, come to this session. Wendy reached out to talent development leaders across the country and gathered their secret ingredients for spicing up face-to-face, virtual, and asynchronous training delivery.
Version 2.0: Wendy first cooked up this program in 2016, but in the last few years, she’s gathered tons of 'recipes' from master chefs around the world. She promises to spice up this meal with some of the yummiest recipes she's found!

ATD Competency: Managing Learning Programs.
This session is about the power of measuring the true cost and effort required by Design and Development (D&D) to produce learning assets. Juan Naranjo, Manager of D&D at Rogers Communications, will share his organization’s best practices on establishing metrics to quantify productivity, effort, and output for a D&D department. He will also discuss how you can measure your productivity in Learning Hours Produced (LHP), its relationship with ROI, and how to make smart resource decisions based on digital data management.
1) Gain insight on effective ways to understand the cost and effort involved in producing learning assets.
2) Gain a better understanding of ways to calculate their ROI and know how competitive they are.
3) Have additional arguments to decide when (or not) to engage a vendor to support their efforts.
This month's meeting combines the best of two SIGs: Learning Trends & Innovations and A Seat at the Table! All are welcome!

For decades proprietary software as Saba, Adobe and Question Mark has been used to support our talent management needs. To often they do not meet our needs and require software licensing fees as well as yearly maintenance fees. In contract, open source software, such as Moodle, is free to license and maintenance cost is free as well. In addition, open source software can be customized to meet your needs. However, there is a cost of server space to host the software and some other operational costs, such as software development.
Open source software solutions are gaining momentum. Why? The term "open source" refers to something people can modify and share because its design and code is publicly accessible. As a result, open source allows you to implement new and innovate features more quickly than proprietary products. In addition, it can be more cost effective then proprietary software.
Join us to discuss the open source software trend and to see how a local global company is using open source software to support learners worldwide!
