Become an e-Learning Hero and save 66%!!!

If you consider yourself a "Learning and Development" professional but waited to move into e-Learning design, you need to do so now. The world changed. Companies that never considered "working from home" as a viable option now accept it. Maybe even enjoy it. Corporate training moved to the virtual classroom and it will not migrate back 100% in a post covid-19 world. Blended, even completely self-paced programs will become the new "norm". And those who cannot design digital learning will get left behind.

Join L&D Philly and our friend Diane Elkins and her team from E-Learning Uncovered for Articulate Storyline bootcamps this summer. The premiere authoring tool in the industry can feel a bit intimidating to learn. And even after you learn the basics, building really customized, interactive courses seems daunting. But your career, your livelihood, cannot wait.

July will feature a 4-part "Beginners" bootcamp. Learn the basics of the tool and start developing your first course.

August will feature a 3-part "Advanced" bootcamp focusing on the Variables tool.

These bootcamps are open to anyone from around the world. And the best part? They're both 66% off compared to what similar programs cost. Info|Registration here on our website.

Just announced - Beginner & Advanced Articulate Storyline Bootcamps with Diane Elkins & her team from E-Learning Uncovered.

If you want to break into E-Learning you need to learn how to use Storyline, the industry's premiere development tool. Start with the Beginner's Bootcamp in July - 4 sessions over 4 half days - July 21, 23, 28, and 30th.

If you already design online training but want to take your skills to the next level, then join us for the Advanced Bootcamp in August. 3 sessions over 3 half days - August 18, 20, 25.

We're giving Member a week to ten days to register first before opening up to the general public as these will more than likely sell out. Why? Because Diane and her team literally writes the book on Articulate Storyline, she runs her own design firm so she uses everything she teaches in her business, and because these events are 66% of the price the same class would cost through Any Training or Development national organization. Info & registration here on our website.

From great upcoming webinars, to a growing community on our Slack channel, to a soon to be announced virtual Articulate Storyline Beginner's Bootcamp and Advanced Training Workshop - we got ya covered!

A nice recap of the event provided on LinkedIn by member Tom Gill:

Another gem of a program last Saturday at Temple University Ambler. This time with Stephen Morris from Catylator.com. A few key take-aways…

• • Leaders don’t know everything… the knowledge is in the room
• • Our hands are connected to 70-80% of our brain cells
• • Creativity can be a force-multiplier… as long as it is encouraged & supported by executive leaders
• • Don’t get shot down or shut down your team
