We'll be offering learning evaluation solutions to corporate clients from next month, October 2011. Keen readers of this blog may have noticed a shift of emphasis in recent posts. I've apparently become much more interested in the evaluation of learning and development. In fact, this has been a career-long interest, and has always formed a part of my professional work.

ls2011 e-Learning Learning Solution conference 2011What did I learn the last few days at the guild conference? Learning is about people and not about tools. Sometimes we forget this, especially someone like me who works with a tool vendor. But of course it’s true, tools are the means and not the goal. But there is more than just that statement. Thanks to the keynote from John Medina I got a better understanding on how remembering (or forgetting) works. We need to take this into account, especially when we are creating courses that transfer knowledge. Difference between the US and Europe.
