Hi! I'm Megan. I've spent the last 10 years in adult education, teaching and training in both higher education and corporate sectors. Most recently, I've been working as an Instructional Designer for a Fortune 500 company near Cleveland, Ohio. This page offers free resources for teachers, job searchers, and anyone interested in personal development.

The ADDIE MODEL serves as a great starting point for me as an Instructional Designer.
It provides a consistent and systematic approach to determining
learner gaps and addressing those gaps through a focused training plan.
LEADERBOARDS, a staple of my training programs, are extremely helpful
for both summarizing results for key stakeholders and maintaining
accountability through positive recognition. Leaderboards can also motivate
those who might not readily find the value in the training being offered.
TRACKING AND REPORTING the results of any training program is crucial in determining its effectiveness. The frequency of report outs will depend on stakeholder preferences. I find that in most training programs, it is helpful for me to gather data weekly, even if the report-out is scheduled monthly.
As far as depth of reporting, that depends on the needs of the organization and/or the goals of the training. It might be sufficient to report on an individual level in some cases; however, more often than not, key stakeholders will want to see various comparisons of groups across the participant pool (as shown to the right).
Some helpful data to include in the report out are:
-
pre-test average/median scores
-
post-test average/median scores
-
a sum of the knowledge gap closed
-
a percentage of the teams' completion rates
-
due dates
