Technology and People:
Emerging Trends that are Changing the Way we Work

By now, you’ve been using email for what seems like forever.  Ok, so email is old hat.  But what about other technologies that are changing the way people work.  CoREM will explore the current use of Blogs, Virtual Meetings, Training and Learning Systems and Social Networking as additional technologies that are quickly becoming a way of life.  It’s essential to build an understanding of what and how these new technologies are being integrated into work life as well as the advantages and disadvantages associated with them.  We’ll also be inviting discussion of your experiences with these technologies and their application to CoREM as well as the human factors related to the new technologies. 

And…rather than deliver this CoREM meeting in the traditional manner – face to face, we’ll be conducting this meeting virtually.  So, if you’d like to attend, all you’ll need is to have access to a computer and a telephone line.  However, space is limited, so PLEASE SIGN UP and we’ll send you the instructions for logging on.  It’s simple and it’s fast and you’ll have plenty of opportunity to participate.
