My Story and Connection with the Canadian eLearning Conference
I’d like to take a few moments of your time to share with you how much this event means to me and how it has helped to shape who I am now professionally.
When the conference was held 2009, it was a place for instructional designers, developers, and learning specialists in the healthcare sector to come together and learn from one another. I attended that first year and since then have become a regular speaker at the event. The conference has always been run by volunteers. I joined the committee in 2015 because I had learned so much from this event, had made international connections, appreciated that it was created by the elearning community for the elearning community, and was run by volunteers. Through it all I was lucky enough to make some amazing friends in the process.
As our event grew so did our audience. In 2016 we re-branded as the Canadian eLearning Conference. No longer were we a gathering just as healthcare learning specialists and practitioners. We now had international industry leading speakers and attendees joining us from around the world. Today, the conference now hosts participants from a wide variety of industries, backgrounds, and regions all joining together for one purpose; to bring together those interested in elearning, instructional design, and learning technologies so that we may learn and collaborate together.
I’m honored to be this year’s emcee once again for our 12th annual Canadian eLearning Conference and would like to personally invite you to join us at this year’s event.
After last year’s success, and due to planning considerations, we will again be holding this year’s event virtually. It runs over 2 half days, June 16 & 17th, and there are lots of sessions to attend.
Topics include: Accessible design, learning personas, learning through disruption, training using VR, storycrafting, design thinking, Articulate sessions, podcasting, branched learning, learning experience design, designing authentic experiences, and much more.
Our sessions are recorded so you won’t miss any of them as an attendee.
Registration ($350) is open world wide and we’d love to have you join us and be a part of this amazing community.
Sincerely,
Tracy Parish,
Director – Social Media/Marketing
Canadian eLearning Conference
