I have included Kirkpatrick’s Four Levels of Evaluation in every proposal I have ever written, and I wanted to hear from Kirkpatrick himself regarding his take on the current state of evaluation and whether his four levels are still viable. Well, based on where Kirkpatrick and his son James are today, I was completely wrong.

And as time has gone by, I have started to wonder about the validity of Kirkpatrick in today’s world. Company executives are typically interested in the bottom line, not how well their employees apply the learning from a training class. What I liked was that McGoldrick didn’t critique the Kirkpatrick model. But it wasn’t.

It sounds like Weejee is growing quickly with Ian and Tracy at the helm, but they too are frustrated with the slow adoption of informal learning. Wikis are an easy place to start the promotion of collaborative learning spaces, and clients seem to be willing and able to accept this informal tool into their everyday lives.

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.

But, if the manger or leader can embrace this innovation in learning, encouraging and expecting workers to do the same, the impact could be tremendous. This reminds me of a session I attended on emotional intelligence at the eLearning Guild ‘s Learning Solutions 2011 conference last month.
