Interaction Associates will provide a guided tour of Total Access on Weds, January 25 from 10:30-11 AM in Exhibitor Demo Area #2 on the Expo Floor.

Attendees to TechKnowledge 2012 also will have the chance to interact with the IA team and discuss their learning problems and requirements. ASTD TechKnowledge is a three-day event full of learning opportunities, helping visitors determine how technology will give an edge to learning in their companies, with their clients, and to their own future as a learning professional.

Total Access provides a “virtual design shop,” created using Interaction Associates’ world-class instructional design methodology. It is ideal for professionals who have to design learning and consulting in the areas of:
 
– Leadership
– Change Management
– Meeting Management
– Teamwork
– Facilitation
– Coaching
 
Total Access is also a toolkit of leadership, coaching, and facilitation resources for change agents. Managers can use Total Access to become learning leaders, by downloading individual topics to provide “just-in-time, just-in-need” coaching — individually, in meetings, face-to-face and virtually.

Paul J. Tapia, Director, Learning & Development, Organization Effectiveness So.
