Learning Café
Beyond "Happy Sheets" - Ideas and Questions for Understanding Learning Effectiveness
Date Thursday, Nov 23 Time – RoomSchoeneberg
Corporate academies are a big investment for organisations. However, little effort is put into measuring the effectiveness of learning products provided by them. In this Learning Café, we will introduce models and approaches for understanding and measuring learning effectiveness and share insights on reconstructing the M&E system of the Academy for International Cooperation (AIZ) which aims to shape learning within GIZ, an organisation with 25,000 employees in 120 countries.
We will then facilitate a discussion among participants on good practices, useful methods/approaches, and common challenges concerning the effectiveness of learning products.
