2012 sees the launch of a major new publishing initiative from Oxford University Press – Oxford Scholarly Editions Online (OSEO) –an interlinked collection of authoritative Oxford editions of major works from the humanities, being made available online for the first time. The launch content, consisting of the complete text of more than 170 scholarly editions of material written between 1485 and 1660, constitutes the cornerstone of research in the fields of English Literature, as well as Philosophy, History, and Religion. The launch of OSEO and the movement of Scholarly Editions into the digital realm will generate new ideas, research journeys and expectations for scholars, students, and librarians and this webinar provides the perspectives of two key voices involved in the project on the impact this will have on librarians and the academic community.

The Neuroscience of Employee Engagement

Wednesday, 26 September 2012 12:00pm

Overview

Management insights drawn from breakthoughs in cognitive science

Many studies show a link between high engagement and organizational success, yet until now our understanding of the science of engagement has mostly focused on outcome studies, not on the underlying mechanisms involved.

This session provides fresh insights into our understanding of what engagement is, how to measure it and most important, how to increase it. Drawing from the latest findings in neuroscience, we will explore a series of questions, such as:

  • What is the actual neural basis of engagement, in other words, what is engagement made up of, if you were to peer inside the brain?
  • What are the factors that drives engagement in the brain? How does engagement affect the brain? What are the various possible 'levels' of engagement?
  • And finally, how can we more accurately measure engagement?

What You Will Learn

  • Understand why your current engagement strategies do or don't work
  • Discover fresh ideas for increasing engagement
  • Explore new thinking for measuring engagement

Bozarthzone! Brain Bandwidth: Reducing Cognitive Load

Tuesday, 25 September 2012 2:00pm

http://tinyurl.com/9hye2qk

Trainers and instructional designers know that much instruction simply places too many demands on learners in terms of volume, clarity, and memory. This session provides an overview of cognitive load considerations in instructional design. Particular emphasis is placed on how information can be presented in such a way as to avoid overloading the recipient's ability to receive, process, and understand the information (i.e., their "brain bandwidth").
