Target Group
This workshop offers a structured, consistent yet flexible approach to evaluating learning events. TAP's best-practice evaluation process builds upon the analysis, design, delivery, and workplace application phases of the training cycle and establishes what impact learning events have had on the real needs of the business and the people working in it. Learners will be introduced to the theory of evaluation through a case study and will critically review their own evaluation practices for L&D projects, writing action plans to implement on return to work.
Goal
Learners will be able to plan an evaluation activity for their L&D projects following the seven-step TAP® Evaluation Process and using provided templates to guide them.
Assessment
During the workshop, learners will apply the theory of each step of the process to their own L&D projects by completing an action plan at key stages. There will be a focus on planning actions during the workshop so that learners have practical solutions to implement on return to work.
After the workshop, learners will provide documented evidence of how they have applied their learning to their work.
Prerequisites
It is strongly recommended that learners first attend the TAP Learning Needs Analysis course. It is also recommended that learners have attended the TAP Design course.
Target Audience
This course is for anyone who is required to evaluate learning events (classroom-based or live online courses e-learning etc.) as part of their role.
Course Content
Part 1: Getting started (pre-requisites)
Before the workshop, there is an important pre-course preparation document which will be marked as a milestone within QA’s online platform. The learners will be asked to:
- read the learning log and establish their goals for the workshop.
- think about a work-based learning event that the evaluation process can be applied to during and after the workshop.
Part 2: Two-day workshop
Day one:
- Introduction to the evaluation process – who is involved in evaluation and how the TAP evaluation process maps to the training cycle and the Kirkpatrick Evaluation model.
- Aligning L&D projects to organisational goals.
- Writing project aims.
- Writing measurable business benefits.
- Aligning learning outcomes to content analysis.
- Assessing learning in the workplace.
- Aligning learning objectives to learning outcomes.
- Matching learning objectives and session assessments.
Day two:
- Gathering feedback from learners and line managers.
- Collating feedback and assessment evidence for analysis.
- Analysing, interpreting, and displaying feedback, assessments and workplace application data, and actioning results.
- Reviewing measurable business benefits.
Part 3: Applying the learning at work
- Learners will have up to two months to further develop their skills, knowledge, and behaviours within the areas learnt.
- Learners will document their actions using a provided template, giving them the opportunity to reflect, plan, and discuss next steps with their manager/organisation.
