CANCELLED: Ten learning technology trends that CEhp professionals should know (Level 1)

Session Description: The worlds of continuing education and learning technology each have their own language and theory. The language of these two worlds sometimes seem oddly incompatible, which is, perhaps, why CEhp professionals often struggle with applying new learning technologies to their own work. What are the roots of this incompatibility, and, more importantly, how can CEhp professionals take advantage of recent developments in learning technology? This presentation tackles these problems by taking trends identified by the Learning Technology Hype Curve--a data-driven analysis of recent trends in learning technology (more on the Learning Technology Hype Curve below)--and translating them to the world of CEhp.

Participants will gain:

An understanding of ten recent trends in learning technology that have been identified by the Learning Technology Hype Curve's data-driven methodology,

Ideas on how these trends can be translated to the world of continuing education in the health professions, and

A perspective on the roots of the incompatibility between the language of continuing education and learning technology.

Armed with this understanding, participants will be equipped not just to evaluate whether they want to pursue these recent concepts in their own work, but to better understand future developments in learning technology.

The Learning Technology Hype Curve--previously known as the eLearning Hype Curve--is a sentiment analysis project that aggregates data from learning technology influencers' social media posts and analyzes that data to identify trends in language, theory, methodology, and technology in learning technology. The identified trends are classified according to the Gartner Hype Cycle as up-and-coming, at "peak hype," declining in hype, or stabilizing in their usage. The Learning Technology Hype Curve draws its data from Twitter and LinkedIn, and has been maintained by the author since 2018.
