Houston ASTD: Leveraging Technology for Learning

I am presenting at the Houston ASTD Leveraging Technology for Learning conference - Friday, June 25,2010 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM CDT.  My topic is LMS 101- What you need to know.  Hope to see you there!

How can organizations make smart purchasing decisions about learning management systems? Although every implementation is different, there are some common factors to address when evaluating the right LMS for your organization. In this session, Debbie Richards shares her experiences with LMS selection, implementation and deployment. She will compare and contrast large systems to Moodle. She will also address how LMS relates to Web 2.0 (decentralization) and Integrated Talent Management Systems (centralization).
