Session Title: Learner Validation: Why Guess When You Can Measure
Presented by: Dick Handshaw, President at Handshaw, Inc.
WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?
Many people shy away from measuring learning after the fact because it is often time-consuming and difficult. Why not measure the results of your learning while you develop it using a low cost method of validation with actual learners?
In this session, Dick Handshaw will share his process for prototype creation and testing. Participants will learn the keys to gathering usable data for making revisions or design decisions. Dick will share his first-hand experience with participants to help them learn how to measure results that lead to solid improvements to the final product, with no “guesswork” involved..
Participants will be able to...
•· Get “buy-in” from learners and sponsors
•· Select a prototype for a Learner Tryout
•· Select sample learners for a Learner Tryout
•· Observe and collect data during a Learner Tryout
•· Observe and collect data during a Field Test
•· Make appropriate revisions based on the data collected
