(May 4) Hafsa El Khettab and François Ste-Marie or ARINSO Canada facilitated a workshop of learning evaluation. Unfortunately trainers do not always put much energy into developing evaluation tools for the training programs they develop. But evaluating the results of training is crucial if we are to attain the objectives we have been set. The presenters led an animated discussion with delegates sharing their past experiences as well as some of the challenges they have been given to develop evaluation tools.
The highlight of the workshop was the presentation of numerous tools developed by the workshop facilitators. Participants were able to try some of these out through small group exercises. Many of these tools grew from collaborations with instructional designers and other training and development professionals. Essentially, evaluation tools should evolve from training goals and objectives. This is the only way to ensure that there is a link between training and organizational needs.
