Draft $3$: Methods, Materials, & Evaluation

What method do you plan to use and why?

Consider $($Table $7\mathrm{.}11,$ p$.$p$.321)$

Learning outcomes

Learning environment

Transfer of training

Cost$/$budgets available

Effectiveness

What materials do you plan to use?

Sources of content for your training plan

Depends on your approach$-$some sample methods below

Lecture materials

Videos

Role play scenarios

Case studies

On the job materials

Simulations

Business Games

Adventure Learning

Others?

Create a detailed outline of your training plan and active learning strategies

This must be by time and sequence

Don$$t forget to schedule breaks and estimates of activities

Remember your plan needs to be a $3-4$ hour training

You will deliver $15-20$ minutes of your training during your virtual final presentation

Assessment tools and Processes

Evaluation$-$follow the evaluation process, p$.$p$.251,$ Figure $6\mathrm{.}1$

What outcomes will you collect to determine the effectiveness of the training?

Conduct Needs Assessment$-$You already have this done!

Develop measurable learning objectives$-$You already have this done too!

Develop the outcome measure

Consider Table $6\mathrm{.}1,$ p$.$p$.253-$Evaluation outcomes $($outcome$,$ level, what is measured, example, method of measurement$)$

Table $6\mathrm{.}2,$ p$.$p$.254$ is a sample reaction measure

Choose an evaluation strategy

What evaluation design do you plan to use? Why?

Benefits

Risks

Consider table $6\mathrm{.}7,$ p$.$p$.266$ which shows a comparison of various evaluation designs and measures

Consider table $6\mathrm{.}10,$ p$.$p$.271-$what are the factors that may influence the type of evaluation design that you use

Develop the sample evaluation tool$-$You will not need to execute as we are not actually conducting the full training.

See samples from Silberman article posted to Blackboard

Estimate the Return on Investment for your training program

Use table $6\mathrm{.}11,$ p$.$p$.277$ for a guideline tool for categories and then make up the numbers based on your methods and

See table $6\mathrm{.}12,$ p$.$p$.278$ for an example of benefit calculations for cost$-$benefit estimates

$**$You will actually use the evaluation tool during module $7$ when you facilitate your training to the rest of the class
