201 How Learning Professionals Can Deliver Measurable Results
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
Wednesday, April 20
Tracks: Instructional Design
Learning professionals are under increased pressure to report tangible results from their work. However, a 24X7 Learning survey revealed that only 12% of learners say they apply the skills from the training they receive to their job. If learners aren’t applying what they learn, it is hard to measure the results.
During this session you’ll learn a course design that incorporates participant application, and therefore measurable outcomes. Eureka! Ranch CEO Maggie Nichols and course developer Brad Hall will share a case study of one certification course using this innovative design, and the business results participants are achieving.
In this session you will learn:
- How to help four times the number of learners achieve mastery of your content
- How to use systems thinking to drive the metrics that matter
- How to integrate real world applications into your course design to drive outcomes
