DevLearn is an annual eLearning Guild conference that gathers professionals in the Learning industry from around the world. They meet to discuss best practices, opportunities and emerging trends in conventional, online and social learning. The 2011 DevLearn conference was held at the Aria Casino and Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada from November 2 through 4, 2011; there were also some pre-conference sessions on October 31 and November 1.
As you can imagine, with such a fantastic talent pool of bleeding edge Learning professionals, I made sure to take copious notes. Below are the highlights I put together (in mindmap format) for the sessions I attended. Feel free to download them. If you find any of them helpful, then I hope you’ll pay it forward and share them freely with your friends and colleagues. And, if you have any questions or need clarification about any of the notes, just post a question in the comments below. I’ll respond with a clarification as best I can.
