Level 3 Evaluation for eLearning: Behavior
In this series of articles about eLearning evaluation, I’m drawing upon Kirkpatrick’s Four-Levels Model to lay out the basics of what you should be accomplishing with your own efforts.

Level 2 Evaluation for eLearning: Learning

eLearning Evaluation: Kirkpatrick’s Four-Level Model

There’s more to evaluating eLearning than just reflecting on how it went in a general sense. If you want to really do a […]

First, it’s important to consider the fact that both the workforce and the nature of the workplace need to be taken into account when measuring self-paced learning’s ROI.

Instructional Design for Older Workers
As the ability to retire at 65 becomes a pipe dream for many Americans, there are a growing number of older adults in the workforce. While some younger workers like to joke about their older colleagues’ work habits – for example, printing and filing important emails due to a deep mistrust of cloud storage – […]

Designing Enduring Structures for the Virtual Workplace
For centuries, architects have been building structures that do more than protect us from the elements. In Ancient Greece, temples were designed as powerful testaments to Greek society’s rising civilization. In the Renaissance, Italian cathedrals were designed to enhance and amplify choral music. And in the 18th century, a growing number of buildings were designed […]

Mentoring Skills through eLearning
When you read about the robust mentoring programs that have been in use at Sun Microsystems since the 1990s, you can’t help but be envious of the fact that their estimated return on investment (ROI) has exceeded 1,000%.

Humor in eLearning: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
The Great Recession was no laughing matter. It left a lot of companies and organizations hurting. However, a myopic focus only on the bottom line can become a rather mind-numbing affair.
