To support the performance of the initial crew an initial training program was put in place. The USCG’s Performance Technology Center was asked to conduct a Level III evaluation of the training and performance supports. Learn how the Kirkpatrick Model of Evaluation was applied, what tools were developed for the data collection in this study, and review the findings on the value of the training and supports afforded to this first crew. This evaluation resulted in significant savings in time and money for training initial crews of the sister ships in the NSC class of cutters. 11:15 – 12:00 The Open Learning Initiative (OLI) – An Effective Interactive Content and Assessment Delivery System Diana Bajzek, Associate Director, Office of Technology for Education, Carnegie Mellon University OLI provides a robust course delivery platform for rich online learning experiences.

Sometimes the complexity leads to only partial implementation or “temporary” workarounds that become established procedures. To ensure lean processes and an effective outcome, corporations need to identify all entities that are delivering training, perform an extensive audience analysis, research all training methods currently being used, and establish lines of communication between all entities affected by the learning management system. Corporations must also have detailed knowledge of the learning management system functionality, maintain excellent communication with the vendor, and set up proactive checks and balances. Following these guidelines will help companies avoid common mistakes and save money by maintaining scope. 10:00 – 10:30 Coffee Break 10:30 – 11:10 Learning Management Systems Enhance Operational Performance and Customer Experience Deborah Keeman, Vice President, Learning and Development, Stream Global Services This presentation will describe Stream Global Services initiative to integrate a learning management system into its training and quality man- SALT ® 50 Culpeper Street, Warrenton, Virginia 20186 Ph: (540) 347-0055 • Fax: (540) 349-3169 • Email: info@salt.org • Website: WWW.SALT.ORG 16

Sam Hijazi, Associate Professor of Information Systems, Computer Science, Texas Lutheran University This presentation is a follow up to other presentations discussed in the last seven years. The model in the presentation is a work in progress. The model distinguishes clearly between data, information, and knowledge. It celebrates the technological advances we have witnessed in recent years but it puts the human component as the main reason for the success of failure of any system, project, or program. This presentation should provide the decision makers with the overall picture and requirement of knowledge management.

Friday - eLearning 8:30 – 9:10 Effectively Incorporate Avatars into eLearning Barbara Sealund, President, Sealund & Associates Corporation As more organizations use eLearning to train, the quality of the learning may come into question. eLearning courses that lack interactivity and social connectedness may result in lower motivation, participation and satisfaction on the part of the user as well as lower retention rates. Incorporating avatars into eLearning courses engages learners and improves retention. Avatars in eLearning courses serve as mentors and assist users by sharing their experience, knowledge and skills.
