In this webinar we'll examine how to evaluate learning programs, specifically exploring the link between designing learning content and the eventual impact on workplace performance. 

How do you show the value of learning? There’s no easy, single answer because learning is complex and every organizational context is different. But some constants remain. And most agree it is about more than attendance in class or completion rates. 

This webinar will put learning evaluation under the spotlight, and explore what it really means to show the value of learning. Few in the professional development field have spent as much time as Dr Will Thalheimer exploring what makes learning effective. In this webinar we'll also our focus on evaluation – how do we know that learning has taken place and transferred into performance?

This new multi-level approach to evaluation is a method that ranges from knowledge building, through task competence to effective performance. We'll examine how to evaluate learning programs and explore some new, deep thinking about the links (& those lacking) between designing learning content or experiences, the eventual impact on workplace performance and what objective methods we're using to assess impact.

In this webinar we'll discover:

* The issue of evaluation: the difficulties and dangers
* What real performance looks like
* Why knowing is only the beginning of performance
* Task competence, decision making and other key factors
* Super-charging your smiley sheets
* When should we be ready to certify someone as having learned anything?
