Hi Lisa,

With your work at elearn magazine, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording conducted by Nellie Deutsch on Technology Integration.

Hi Lisa,

Thank you for updating the link to your web site. I now see that you are at Tufts University and are really very involved in User Experience and medicine. I work quite a bit with Caroline Cao in the Mechanical Engineering Department on the main campus. Caroline is one of the pioneers in bringing Human Factors into the field of medicine. If you have not met her, you may wish to do so.

I bring the Games To Explain To Explain Human Factors: Come, Participate, Learn and Have Fun!!! to Tufts once or twice per year. I've also brought the session to Medical Product Surveillance Network (MedSun) conference in 2007 and to the Ohio State University College of Pharmacy Latiolais Leadership Program in 2000. A few Aptima employees are also on my Games presentation team (Sharnnia Artis and Emily Wiese).

You may wish to join our New England Chapter of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, since you have so many common interests with us.

If I can be of help to you as a consultant or a co-presenter at some point in the future, please let me know.

It has been a pleasure meeting you. I think we will be working together in the future.


Ron

Hi Lisa,
Thank you for becoming my first "Friend" on Ning in Education. I appreciate your doing this. You asked about my teaching experience. Early in my career I taught Psychology at the college level, then I moved into industry (IBM) working on the design of things so that people could use them safely, efficiently, and enjoy using them. Most recently, I've been in corporate learning managing:
.Technical Learning and Leadership Curriculum for IBM's 100K employees
.New Employee Orientation for up to 70K employees per year
.Employee University Education in the US
.Career Coaching.
I recently retired from IBM to establish my consulting practice.
I've always been very active in bringing educational programs to schools, colleges, universities, etc. My current offerings include:
* Activities To Facilitate Career Planning and Gaining Meaningful Employment (High School and College Editions)
* Career Options With A Psychology Degree (High School and College Editions)
* Effective Leadership Involves Working Through Others (High School, College, University and Professional Editions)
* Games To Explain Human Factors: Come, Participate, Learn and Have Fun!!! (Middle School, High School, College and University and Professional Editions)
* I'm Awesome, But I Have My Limitations (For milestone events such as a beginning or end of the school semester, graduation week, promotion, corporate or school orientation program)
* What Is It Like Working In Industry (Graduate School)
* What's My Job: An Effective Career Orientation Program For Middle School Students (Middle School).
I would enjoy working with you to bring these programs to Lexington. Please feel free to look through my photos here as well as my photo albums on SlideShare to learn a little bit more about the programs.
What do you teach? (PS I really like your ideas about customer service)
Lets keep in touch

Hi Lisa,
I enjoyed reading your blog, however the link to your website in the profile information does not work for me (and after reading your blog on the telephone... can't resist adding I don't think its a training problem). You may wish to fix this.
