The day started which would involve us as a team meeting after the first seminar at half 11 but in the end it was only me and another guy. Before I left yesterday, I found out they all met up to discuss who would go to which seminar, I was asked to attend an XML seminar which I was going to go to anyway. I found this very interesting, XML always baffled me and I couldn't get my head round it but this helped me see sense, XML is basically language that can be used both in mobile and pc platforms (mobile devices and pc's can reconise the language and display it) afterwards we were due to meet up but no success. My next seminar was looking at a case study of m&s with using e-learning. I found it interesting but struggled to adapt it to use in my personal life and also the ICHCT.
Next seminar I attended was on how e-learning was used in corporate companies, this was interesting but the speaker didn't want to give to much away and encouraged you to know more by coming to her booth.
Next seminar was on multi-learning platforms which I found very interesting. This learning how to teach via pc's, phones, i-pads and at the end they had a list of almost every available tool to use for e-learning.
Next seminar I attended was about what coorporations were currently looking to do after the recession such as what e-learning technologies they would be using. This was very good and gave me a great insight into what companies are currently looking for and what is trending.
Next seminar was about "serious gaming" which was weird but interesting, a french company make games as part of e-learning for companies such as l'oreal. E.g they wud try to work out different methods of dying hair certain ways and certain colours, if you didn't do it you would lose the game. Very effective tool if it can be used correctly.
The final seminar was about how to improve design and development in e-learning. Very interesting and was looking forward to it as was hoping to take whatever I learnt here into my web design career and I did.
