MASIE Center hosts ‘extreme learning’ event

Gaming, simulation, mobile devices and other forms of ‘extreme learning’ are the focus of a new lab based seminar at The MASIE Center in New York State.

"Tomorrow's workforce will demand and utilise a whole new set of learning technologies, including on-line games, instant collaboration, simulation environments and other forms of ‘extreme learning’," said Elliott Masie, President of The MASIE Center.

The MASIE Center has developed a new xLearn Lab at its educational research facility in Saratoga Springs, New York. The Lab is equipped with gaming studios, a simulation arena, virtual teaching studios, a learning usability lab, a tools gallery, video capture, a wireless and device learning environment, and a knowledge flash studio.

According to the organisers, participants in The MASIE Center's first Extreme Learning Lab and Seminar will spend three days using, designing and exploring dramatically different learning models, including employee orientation delivered through a wireless, hand-held Sony Portable Playstation.

The event will be held from 28th – 30th June 2005 and will be co-taught by Elliott Masie and The MASIE Center's Director of Learning Innovations, Mark Oehlert.
