EVALUATING TRAINING; TALENT DEVELOPMENT

1. Continue with the training topic you selected for Case 1. (The ADDIE steps are explained in the Gardner videos presented on each of the Modules Background pages).

Walk through, step by step, the Evaluation phase of the ADDIE model. Be as specific as possible. If there is unknown information, make logical assumptions to fill in the information needed and include a section in your paper showing the assumptions you made.

Bring in at least two valid and reliable sources found outside of your course materials. (Be sure to cite sources within the text of your paper as well as list each in the Reference section.)

2. As you select the two outside sources for Case 4, you may find the following helpful to determine which sources to include:

Cornell University. (2015). Critically analyzing information sources: Critical appraisal and analysis. Retrieved from https://guides.library.cornell.edu/critically_analyzing

Purdue University (n.d.). Purdue Writing Lab. Retrieved from

In your paper discuss the following types of evaluation that should be utilized to evaluate your training course:

Formative Evaluation
Summative Evaluation – apply the four steps of the Kirkpatrick model.
Develop a numerical example of return on investment (ROI) and discuss how those components of the ROI help to evaluate the value (or lack of value) of your training program. Make recommendations on what changes you could make to the training to improve its ROI.
