Google's Experiments with MOOCs at ASTD Conference

I'm excited to be presenting at the ASTD international conference in Dallas, TX in May. Phil Wagner and I will be talking about what it's like to create a MOOC from an Instructional Design perspective. We will highlight examples from our work on Google's MOOCs, including Power Searching with Google and Advanced Power Searching with Google.

Session Description

Will we see you there?

Who am I? Why this Blog?

I am Julia Wilkowski (nee Bulkowski), an instructional designer who is passionate about learning and performance. I work in a corporate training environment. Most recently I have been involved in MOOCs and Google's Course Builder platform.

I hope to share insights about what I've observed about MOOCs from a behind-the-scenes instructional design perspective in order to inspire others to experiment with MOOCs. I want to contribute to the extensive dialog about MOOCs and hope you will join me in discussions.

I have presented at SXSWedu, ASTD, ISPI, and DevLearn conferences about Google's involvement in MOOCs and the use of social media tools to enhance learning and performance. I have been a judge of the Brandon Hall Excellence in Learning Awards competition in the past.
