Conclusion
The Toolkit aims to help users to understand the different ways we can check if a learning event has made any difference to the real world. This can include increasing levels of knowledge and skills, changing people’s working practices and having an impact on the people who attend the services that attendees of the learning event work in.’
- Here is what you should know at the end of reading this Toolkit:
- You will understand the four levels of impact described in Kirkpatrick’s Model of Evaluation.
- You will understand why it is important to collect impact data after a learning event is delivered.
- You will be able to work out which levels of impact assessment are required for a given learning event.
- You will know how to use impact measurement tools to gather data across the four Kirkpatrick levels.
- Please complete this ILO Form (opens in a new window) again so we can compare your answers to the ratings you gave at the start of The Toolkit. This lets us check if The Toolkit has increased your knowledge and confidence in the way we hoped it would.
- Here is a Form (opens in a new window) that asks about Level One data, how satisfied you are with The Toolkit. We will use these data to improve The Toolkit, so it better meets the needs of its users.
Reflective Prompt: Now that you have finished reading The Toolkit, decide one change you will make to enhance the measurement of impact of Professional Learning, in your organisation.
Please contact us with any questions about measuring impact and to tell us how you got on.
