NexLearns Immersive Learning University Conference and Symposium Partners with Leading Training and Education Universities ? (January 02, 2012)

Wichita, KS (PRWEB) January 02, 2012

NexLearn's Immersive Learning University's Conference and Symposium, January 18 - 20, 2012, will include presentations, immersive learning discussions and meals hosted by two leading training and education universities: The Institute for Simulation & Training at the University of Central Florida and the Graduate School of Education at University of Pennsylvania (Penn GSE).

Ronald W. Tarr, senior research faculty member at the University of Central Florida and Program Director of Advanced Performance Technologies at the Institute for Simulation &Training, will host a lunch and present: "A Model for Designing Effective Training Simulations: Memoirs of an Old Soldier and Older Instructional Designer." He will describe his instructional simulation design system, the APT? Model.

I am pleased to participate in this venue and exchange challenges and solutions with folks who recognize the value and benefits of simulation based training. It has the potential to bring training and education back to a more natural way of learning, but only if we do it right. says Tarr.

Penn GSE, one of the nation's premier research education schools, will host two meals. Mike Herzog, CIO, will present, "Technology isn't the Problem and It Isn't the Solution." Eric Bernstein will present, "Lessons from the Field: Merging Best-Practices with Theory in Educational Leadership Simulation Design."

Immersive learning will be an essential element of strategic instructional design well into the future. Opportunities like the Immersive Learning University are crucial to the collaboration and sharing of best practices necessary to fully leverage this emerging practice, said Bernstein.
