The ATD Greater Boston Chapter Special Interest Group on Learning Measurement Presents:
Designing Virtual Learning to Deliver Results
with Patti Phillips, Ph.D., CPLP
March 24, 2021
3:30 PM to 4:45 PM
VIRTUAL EVENT - Link in registration email
Today, more than ever, there is a need to ensure that virtual learning works to improve organizational outcomes. Because of the surge in work-at-home arrangements and travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, most learning has shifted to a virtual format. This requires program owners to design virtual learning with desired outcomes in mind and demonstrate that the virtual format works.
Studies show that virtual learning often breaks down when measured at the application level (using what was learned) and impact level (the business impact connected to learning). However, this breakdown is avoidable. To secure the support and funding that virtual learning needs, it must deliver business results.
This session explains how designers, developers, providers, and program owners can ensure that technology-based learning delivers desired results by applying design thinking principles that focus on delivering application and impact.
Objectives
After attending this session, participants should be able to:
- Identify the five levels of outcomes from virtual learning.
- Describe why virtual learning fails to deliver application and impact.
- Explain the need to deliver results, including impact and ROI, for selected virtual learning programs.
- Design virtual learning to deliver application, impact, and ROI, using design thinking principles.
- Plan next steps to ensure virtual learning delivers business value.
Materials
Tools, templates, case studies, job aids, and a chapter from the book Measuring the Success of Learning Through Technology will be provided to participants who attend this session.
