Keynote speaker: We’re welcoming Dr. Karl Kapp to the stage this year. Karl is a researcher, analyst, speaker, professor, learning expert, and designer of instructional games. He is a full-professor of Instructional Technology at Bloomsburg University in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, and the Director of Bloomsburg’s Institute for Interactive Technologies, which works with organizations to create interactive instruction.User Showcase: Added by audience request, the user showcase is not a breakout session, but rather a more intimate opportunity for you to show people one-on-one what you’re doing in Lectora, CourseMill, and ReviewLink. Occurring during the Networking Reception, you can mingle and walk around and check out what people are doing. Kind of like a science fair, but for eLearning. Don’t worry, there will still be drinks and snacks, but this year, if you need an ice breaker at the reception, you can say “Hey, wanna see this cool thing I built in Lectora?” or "Check out what I'm using CourseMill Advanced Reports to track!"What to do in Cincinnati: Our LUC coordinator, Stephanie Ivec, wrote a 3-part “LUC 2017 Guide to Cincinnati” on the blog. In these posts, she shares places to visit—including Trivantis Team favorites—from the best wings in town to great events happening during LUC week. Check it out here:
