Martin Gower will be joining the eLearning Alliance at our Learning Essentials conference on 31st October which we're holding at West Lothian College.  During his session, Martin will tell us more about the successful use of eLearning during the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Having started his eLearning career as an Authorware programmer in 1997, Martin progressed to an Instructional Designer, Learning Consultant and Project Manager.  During this time, Martin has worked in Learning Technology as a supplier and a customer, within organisations such as Department of Health, VEGA Group, Cable&Wireless, Howden, Atos & eCom Scotland, and now with DirectLine.

But when you speak to Martin, he will tell you that managing the eLearning project for Glasgow 2014 is one of the highlights of his career, and it's some of the experiences from this project which Martin will share with us at Learning Essentials.

When Glasgow 2014 commissioned the ‘Games Exchange’ it had 2 main objectives in eLearning :
1. To deliver volunteer and contractor eLearning and Health & Safety eLearning
2. To relay information in a systematic, structured format to a diverse target audience

During Martins session, you will learn how the Glasgow 2014 eLearning solution was successfully implemented, gaining an understanding of how a Games based Organised Committee works and fits in with other organisations.  In addition, you will learn how the project included not only rolling out a Learning Management System (LMS), but also how the challenge of adding 15,000 volunteers, 1,000 paid staff and up to 30,000 contractors onto the eLearning platform was achieved via self-registration – all within tight resources and a defined budget.

Learning Essentials 2014 takes place at West Lothian College on 31st October.  The cost for Alliance Members to attend the days event is only £99.
