So we’ve covered topics including “show and tell”, mobile learning, social learning, learner engagement, gaining buy-in from partners, LMS implementation, authoring tools, evaluation, performance support and video. I’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who has attended and all the firms that have hosted meetings.

When you first turned your thoughts to evaluating training, it’s odds-on that a colleague or consultant recommended you to have a look at the Kirkpatrick model. In March’s TJ, Hatty Richmond writes about her research on L&D practitioners who had been involved in evaluating training courses. Levels are not steps.

Perhaps it being tested and evaluated on a control vs non-control group basis is way too much to ask…It’s this kind of evidence that helps L&D position itself as a trusted advisor rather than a meddlesome nanny. Only time (and exam results) will tell if despite the reaction, the texts genuinely improved results.

I’m curious that I’m rarely asked about choices that I made in the learning strategy or for the evaluation data for behaviour change which I think would be stronger evidence of my effectiveness as an e-learning designer. 3 provokes the question of how much confidentiality is actually appropriate.

The answer is not to bin the happy sheets, but to treat them just as one part of a more holistic approach to evaluation. Again I think this is a minority view amongst learners, and one that is not likely to change if all we focus on is happy sheets. But you were one of the elite who knew that already…

Whilst meaningful evaluation data for both training and e-learning can be difficult to capture, this is an area where having robust data can really make a case study stand out. A fine approach in everyday life, but not one that inclines a judge to give you many points.

Based on the ELN discussions, here’s my top 10: Awareness: it’s difficult for L&D to keep up to date with and evaluate the sheer volume of new tools, hence it’s easier to wait to see what tools get adopted by others in significant numbers.
