Panel LTG24
Making the Move From Face-to-Face to Digital Learning
Date Thursday, Dec 6 Time – RoomChess
How do you move an organisation from classroom delivery to digital learning? Join our Panel to find out how they transformed their workplaces. It hasn't always been easy and our panellists will share openly some of the issues they faced, including: changing attitudes to training among employees and managers, building an in-house capability to create digital learning materials and the importance of regular, two-way communication with the learning audience. The result for our panellists was a new approach to learning at work, and a realisation that it does not always need to take place in a classroom.

The Up and Downs in Transforming from Traditional to Agile Learning Formats
I am Nicole Taylor, born on 18.09.1976. After finishing my apprenticeship, I spent 6 following years in London, where I was responsible for the well-being of three children as a nanny.
In 2001 I worked as a customer service employee at TNT Swiss Post AG and moved to Swisscom Customer Service in 2003. Soon afterwards I started my career as an adult educator - an appeal and fascination that still accompanies me today.
Today I successfully lead a team under the label "knowledge commumication", which is responsible for the efficient and sustainable development of over 2500 employees.
At the beginning of 2017 I successfully completed my master's degree in education management / adult education - my main focus has remained to this day: media didactics.
I have been using this knowledge in my everyday life for over 10 years and design and produce digitized learning units: Video clips, eLearnings, Web Based Trainings and much more.
