Dear <put name of employer here>
MOTIVATION TO ATTEND THE ELEARNING UPDATE WORKSHOP
Please support my application to attend the Elearning Update Workshop
This long-running conference brings together a wide range of role-players in the learning and teaching field to discuss current trends, tips and techniques. This year the event has been structured as an interactive workshop where everyone is a participant in a "Bring-your-own-device" blended learning format. The organisers have selected a number of key people in the field to facilitate learning in every aspect of designing for blended learning in the 4th Industrial Revolution.
. The conference has been growing steadily over the past years and it is a signal event for the Elearning community in Gauteng, and indeed in South Africa.
I will gain valuable insights from this conference that will assist me in improving my skills to the benefit of the company.
I will also get to network with leading figures in the Elearning community.
The sort of things that will be discussed are:
What typical human problem will technology solve for us?
How anc technology help overcome a problem of space, distance or time?
What specific design features could we build into our solution, and how might that work for us?
What have we learnt from our huge success or our monumental failures?
What strategies can we use in developing our blended learning materials?
How will we get our users to implement technology in their blended learning?
What is working for us, and why - and how can it work for you?
What new "theoretical" understanding is developing about the field?
The speakers are a blend of academics, practitioners and developers in the field of Elearning and Blended Learning. I could also participate by presenting a poster or making a one-minute "elevator pitch". The topics include digital learning, online learning, blended learning as well as contact, face-to-face learning. There will also be workshops that reflect on the current and future states of elearning, and that draw conclusions from the whole conference, which I can bring back and share with the company.
Kind regards
