Talking Shop with Will Thalheimer

How can organizations redesign their end-of-training smile sheets in ways that promote learning effectiveness and job performance, rather than merely measure learner satisfaction? Are there downsides to the Kirkpatrick/Phillips/Katzell model of training evaluation? How can practitioners better evaluate their training efforts? During his time with us, Will plans to discuss:

• Problems with traditional end-of-training smile sheets and the performance-focused smile sheets that can replace them.

• The origins and limitations of the Kirkpatrick/Katzell training evaluation model—and a Learning-Transfer Evaluation Model that can overcome these limitations.

• How these evaluation practices can provide guidance for instructional designers.

Will’s goal for the webinar is a rich conversation about learning evaluation and how practitioners can improve it in ways that benefit all learning stakeholders.
