The ATD Greater Boston Chapter Special Interest Group on Learning Measurement Presents:
Measurement Demystified: A Simple Framework for Measurement and Reporting
with David Vance, Ph.D.
2:00 PM to 3:15 PM
VIRTUAL EVENT - Link in registration email
We have come a long way as a profession, but many practitioners continue to struggle with measurement and reporting. There is a lack of clarity on what should be measured, how it should be measured, and what to do with the data once you have it. We are fortunate to have the Kirkpatrick and Phillips frameworks for program evaluation, but what about all the other reasons for measuring? And neither of these frameworks provides guidance for reporting.
This is where a simple but comprehensive framework would be very helpful. We have developed just such a framework that starts with the reasons to measure, moves on to the types of measures and guidance for selecting measures, and concludes with recommendations for the most appropriate type of report based on the reason to measure. Our hope is that this approach will provide the practical guidance needed to demystify the measurement process and help L&D professionals create and execute a good measurement and reporting strategy.

6:30pm – 8:00pm
Microlearning is one of the least understood trends in workplace training today. Everyone wants to “go micro” and every vendor says their solution includes microlearning. However, there are many different use cases and formats for microlearning, so everyone says they’re using microlearning, but they are all doing something vastly different. This creates a tremendous challenge for us to identify best design practices, delivery approaches, and implementation methods. When we actually understand HOW we are going micro, we have a far greater chance of doing it successfully.
In this session, you’ll identify how to go micro with the greatest impact in your curriculum. First we’ll share 4 primary use cases for microlearning and look at real examples of these different types of microlearning used successfully in organizations today. Then you will consider how you can use these types of microlearning in your own curriculum.
Then we’ll get tactical! We’ll identify 20 ways to go micro and you will identify which of these 20 ways would work best in your curriculum so you can walk away with specific ideas for how you can capitalize on microlearning – in real and tangible ways – in your own work. You will leave this session with fresh ideas for incorporating microlearning successfully in your curriculum!
In this session you will learn:
