Evaluation

A standard for measuring the learning effectiveness of training programs is Kirkpatrick’s “Four levels of learning evaluation” model.

 

The following levels are commonly used:

  • Level 1 – Reaction / Satisfaction feedback
    What the participant thought and felt about the training.

  • Level 2 – Learning
    The increase of knowledge or skills. This evaluation usually happens in the form of a test or a demonstration of knowledge.

Level 2 evaluations (online tests) are usually developed in the course of the training development project. For Level 1 – standard satisfaction feedback forms are available in most Learning Management Systems. The system-specific feedback forms and processes can be found in the next chapter.

To get more information about training feedback from users, it is possible to activate an evaluation (feedback) survey. Users automatically receive a feedback notification mail from the system one day after they have successfully completed their e-learning program.

 

There is a mixture of scale questions and comment fields.


The system administrators provide reports on the evaluation.
