LMS Global is conducting a study because of an interest in compiling up-to-date data associated with the effective design, delivery and evaluation of, formal and informal training and the E-learning evolution. 

We are completing a study to determine:

• what the present challenges of learning evaluation are
• how L&D professionals are approaching and solving current issues
• the direction of L&D in the future

As a participant, you will be receiving a Report on these findings called “Challenges and Solutions Facing Learning and Developmen 2010”. Company names and other features will remain confidential.

Get Your LMS to Produce Cost Benefit and ROI Data

Learning Management Systems market has now matured and represents solutions that manage, deliver, assess both formal and informal learning. In fact most L&D departments have one or more LMS’s streamlining training delivery. This has made it even more important to evaluate training within the organization, because training is now delivered in a growing number of delivery methods eg. a course can not only be a group or e-learning module but can be a social learning, short screen casts presentation, a line manager led webinar, coaching program and web content. These can be further broken down by instructor offering synchronous or asynchronous activity eg.  All participants are learning at the same time or participants learning at their own pace. Evaluation answers the question which methods are most cost effective and efficient.

LMS Systems are very good at assessment. However, Levels 3, workplace outcomes/competency assessment and Levels 4 cost benefit/ROI Measurement are not provided for in these systems.  

What is required is an online evaluation portal to ensure that these measurements are readily available to provide appropriate cost benefit data.  

 LEFframework the online evaluation portal can be used to:

                  Gauge learner transference

                  Compare trainers and identify effective techniques

                  Benchmark for event comparison

                  Ensure the consistency of learning event delivery

                  Determine an increase in Workplace Performance

                  Identify which events are most appropriately delivered to specific eLearning environments

                  The gathering of objective feedback from the learners, line manager or nominated observer
