Brain Matters 2015 Features Informal Learning Guru Jay Cross
|
Jay Cross has been credited with inventing the term 'e-learning' and continues to be a pioneer in both the practice and theory of technology in learning. After developing the first courses on the hugely successful University of Phoenix online learning system, he set up the Internet Time Group. A tireless thinker and presenter on learning, he has pushed the learning world to think seriously about informal learning, and working smarter. He invites us to think about learning in a more naturalistic way, seeing learners as real people in real organizations who use real tools in real networks, both offline and online
An international speaker on a wide variety of topics, Jay will expand your thinking and inspire you to accomplish more with less in record time. Jay distills lessons from cognitive science, business administration, how people learn, social computing, and psychology to boost sales, improve customer service, and empower people to innovate. His speaking style is vibrant, humor-laden, energetic, and compelling. We are thrilled to have him join us at Brain Matters 2015.
Learn more about Jay on his website or his video channel.
