Learning Labs

One of the new features at ASTD TechKnowledge® 2007 is the Learning Lab. Learning Labs are informal learning opportunities designed to give you an open forum to discuss and assimilate your learning in sessions. Each Lab is focused on one of six Target Audiences and will be co-facilitated by volunteers who will get the discussion started and keep it on track. Highlights of the discussion will be posted to a wiki for each group. The wikis are available now for your perusal and will remain open after the conference to allow you to read notes, add comments, ideas, resources, and make connections with each other. Tour the site to learn more about how the wiki works and can be used to enhance your learning!

The schedule for the Learning Labs will be in your tote bags and in the program guide. The schedule can also be found on the conference Schedule Builder. Please see below for the links to each individual wiki.

Instructions: (Passwords are case sensitve)

1) Click on the link for the wiki you want to access below. You will see the front page displayed with three boxes: Summary, Buzz, and People. This is where the facilitators and you will enter text.

2) Next to it you will see the Sidebar which lists what type of entries go into each box. Please leave the Sidebar instructions intact!

3) To add to the contents, you must login using the password for the wiki. Then click on "Edit Page." Add your comments into the appropriate box--either Buzz or People--taking care to keep existing text--and click "Save." Your entry will be available for other viewers.

4) To navigate through the wiki, scroll down to the wiki Information box and click on "Show All Pages." Then click on the page name you want to display. Click "Edit Page" to make additional changes or corrections. To exit the wiki, click "Log Out" at the upper right.

5) As you browse the site you will see a variety of options including uploading files, and making a PDF or slides from the wiki. This will allow you to keep the proceedings for your future reference.

6) Click on "Home" to learn more about how to navigate the wiki and make edits.

NOTE: When adding your comments to the site, please take care to leave the other text in place so that this site contains all of the proceedings of the group. And ensure that your comments are appropriate to the topic and social norms. If you have questions, please contact the moderator for each wiki. Thank you and see you in Las Vegas!
