[Webinar] D2L: Developing students into lifelong learners using structured video assessment

No matter what industry students enter upon graduation, the jobs they fill and the skills they need to perform will likely change over time. Rapid technological advances continue to shorten the shelf life of many specialized skills, so it’s become increasingly important for learners to have non-technical skills when they enter the workforce.

Top job surveys have found that employers value graduates who possess cross-cutting skills like communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and problem solving. Organizations look for candidates with soft skills like these because they transfer across all industries, apply to roles beyond the one they start in, and impact how adaptable they are to workplace changes.

Higher ed institutions understand this need, but it’s difficult to assess and develop students’ soft skills at scale.

Join us for a webinar on August 29th at 2:00 PM to learn:

• What the current skills demand looks like
• Which competencies employees need to remain employable for the long term
• How experiential video exercises enable scalable skill development

Thought leader Phil Hill and Bongo’s CEO, Josh Kamrath, discussed the shifting skills demand and what it means for graduates.

Hill is the publisher of the PhilOnEdTech blog, co-founder of MindWires Consulting and @PhilOnEdTech on Twitter. As a market analyst, Hill has analyzed the growth of technology-enabled change for educational institutions, uncovering and describing the major trends and implications for the broader market. As an independent consultant, Hill helps educational institutions, technology and content vendors, and policymakers as they consider and implement new initiatives.

The discussion included ideas such as:

• The shifting skills demand and what it means for graduates
• How higher education institutions feel about the skills gap
• The trending skills that employers are looking for
• The state of the industry and what next steps institutions can take to ensure they are setting students up for success

Newer generations crave the engagement and interactions video enables, and instructors have started using it in more and more ways. People typically lump all video usage into the same bucket, but is all video really created equal? What is the best way to leverage this technology to achieve learning outcomes?

Join us as we interview Georgetown University’s Bryan Alexander on these topics and the future of video in our upcoming webinar on Thursday, July 18. Alexander is an internationally known futurist, researcher, writer, speaker, consultant and teacher, working in the field of how technology transforms education.

The webinar will touch on ideas such as:
• The benefits of students acting as creators instead of consumers of content
• Using learner-generated video as a constructivist pedagogy
• The impact of synchronous and asynchronous video on higher ed
• What trends you can expect to see with video in the next five to 10 years

D2L Fusion – July 15th – 17th

When individuals demonstrate skills and knowledge on video, evaluators get an authentic representation of what they can do.

Join us on July 15th at 1:55 EST to see how Virtual Classroom and Video Assignments combines experiential exercises, personalized feedback, and learner engagement to enable measurable skill development.

Skills gaps exist in part because evaluators often rely on indirect evidence from paper-based assessments to gauge an individual’s comprehension level. Choosing or describing the right answer isn’t the same as putting knowledge into action. In order to close these gaps, learners need skill-building opportunities and timely
feedback to help them improve. To this point, resource constraints have made it difficult for organizations to scale skill practice and evaluation using traditional methods.

Webinar: Enabling continuous learning through experiential video exercises

Rapid advances in technology continue to shape the roles workers fill, the skills they need to perform them, and which tasks become automated. The skills demand is shifting at a faster pace than ever before, which has led experts to recommend an economic and societal move toward agile lifelong learning and retraining efforts across the entire occupational spectrum.

This recommendation puts the onus on organizations to provide continuous learning opportunities for their employees. But to drive the sustained development of the workforce, employers can’t treat workplace learning like traditional training and focus solely on job-specific skills.

So which competencies are the most important for employees to have and what is the best way to promote this level of skill development? Join Bongo for a webinar on Tuesday, July 23 10 a.m. PST to learn:

• What the current skills demand looks like
• Why employers value recent graduates with broad learning and cross-cutting skills
• How experiential video exercises help organizations drive scalable skill development
