The Evaluation of Learning [SlideShare]

Emma Weber

Attempting to fudge, hide or ignore results by cherry picking what to evaluate is pointless. Genuinely evaluating success or failure against worthwhile objectives is not.

For the final instalment in our 4-part SlideShare series we are focusing on the evaluation of learning. This continues to be a hot topic, with more and more research arguing that happy sheets and attendance records are not enough – and that what we should be focusing on is what participants are doing differently in the workplace, and the impact that this is having on the business.

Take a look at the prequels in our SlideShare Series:
