No doubt, a training program, and initiative’s evaluation is a critical part of the company’s training design. Without it, Chief Learner Officers, Learning and Development Heads, Business Sponsorers, Instructional Designers, and other senior executives will fail to realize the true value of their programs, while understanding what needs to be eliminated, added, or improved. And that's where, measuring eLearning ROI with Kirkpatrick’s Model of Training Evaluation, comes handy.
Training program evaluation that the Kirkpatrick model recommended by Donald Kirkpatrick, offers will help you give justification for why a particular training program is essential to exist. Besides, Kirkpatrick's evaluation models can make you become more aware when your training program is creating a real impact on both your people and business. For example, if you are creating a corporate training using gamification or a scenario based learning, you should always design the training with the end in mind. What is that you would want to achieve when designing a learning intervention? This is something you should start with.
