Every course or training initiative has at least one of two goals: to bridge knowledge gaps, and/or to transform the learner’s behavior.
Instructional designers aim to provide the necessary content to accomplish these goals, but sometimes the delivery of a course or training isn’t very effective. In these cases, students or trainees may not experience the results that they (or their employers or faculty) were hoping to see, and the course will need to be improved…
… but how can you tell which part(s) of a course are flawed?
Guessing at which aspects of a course need to be improved is a recipe for frustration. Luckily, there’s a proven process that helps you measure the effectiveness of your courses and start to fix any problems in their delivery.
