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 1: Reaction. Level 2: Learning. Level 3: Behavior.

The gist of it was that even though we have an enormous amount of tools available to enable social learning across far reaching boundaries, the self-study type of eLearning seen in so many workplaces today can potentially cut learners off from any type of social interaction during the course of the learning.
