Instructional Design
You’ve spent weeks researching, planning, and designing your training. You’ve edited and reworked the instructional materials countless times. Finally, after what seems like months of hard work, you’ve created a training course that you think is as effective and engaging as it can be possibly be.
But how do you know it’s as effective as you think it is?
Formative, summative, and confirmative evaluation of every course can help you to analyze weather the course is effective or not.
To make sure that your design is effective when it’s debuted, for example
Formative evaluation practices are useful.
Summative evaluations determine how much employees learned and whether this knowledge creates behavior change.
Confirmative evaluations measure the long-term success of the program.
Frequent evaluation allows for continuous improvement.
One of the most useful frameworks for evaluating your instructional design is the Kirkpatrick model.
The model has four levels:
- Reaction
- Learning
- Behavior
- Results
If you’re just starting your learning and development program, this might all sound overwhelming. But remember that evaluation is an ongoing process that runs alongside instructional design. You can hire a best Instructional design company to develop and evaluate your course. I would recommend Paradiso Instructional design company.
