This is no longer just evaluating whether you like the course. It still measures course, content, instructor, and relevancy to the job. There should be a request for suggestions on how to improve the course and an action plan to address identified weaknesses. Level 2: Learning. It was an opportunity I couldn’t miss.

I believe an LMS could be a good place for sharing and capturing tacit knowledge. Of course you’ll need to have an LMS with progressive design and implementation, which allows for informal and social learning interactions to happen in your enterprise. Earlier we had written about getting the most out of your LMS.

Welcome one and all to the wrap up of the ASTD international conference and expo. Why hasn’t ASTD figured out how to do things right. Once again, ASTD dropped the ball. Apparently there must be a huge demand for scalping ASTD badges or hood winking ASTD for access into their show. Leapfactor. Map on the app.

With great anticipation I entered the huge expo at ASTD International show earlier this week. I would estimate that there was a 60-40 split, still instructor led driven, but even a significant number of the ILT vendors were offering subsets or capabilities to turn their ILT into online via webinars or online courses.

It can be embed into your web site, added to your LMS, but to me the real awesomeness is the ability to add into any authoring tool. I see it not only as a standalone but also as a course or courses within a learning platform.

Some companies will use “Level 2: Learning” to measure whether the learners have mastered the training course content.
