Electronic Assessment

Today's technology makes it possible to implement a highly automated way to assess the results and impact of training, using the models developed by Donald Kirkpatrick. The World Wide Web is accessible almost anywhere there is a telephone. Virtual 100% computerization of every employee's desktop is now a reality. This means that a training organization can collect data during and after training, and can survey training participants at various levels and time intervals.

A centralized, multi-level training evaluation process can be established to initially collect Level 1 through Level 4 data through a combination of scannable paper evaluation forms, electronic data input, telephone response and transcribed handwritten comments provided by students and instructors. The data inputs provided would be stored in a relational database; reports would be generated and distributed via email, secure Internet web site and other means. Various roll-up and management reports would be created as required by the entity measuring and evaluating the results of the training.
