Defining Learning Outcomes to Guide Activity Choice

In our online course, Leading Training Needs Analysis to Define Results-Focused Learning Outcomes Online Course, we explore how to define measurable outcomes that guide the design process. We focus on four key questions that help shape the outcomes framework which you will use to filter activity and content choices. To ensure performance results, four key outcomes must be achieved: value, knowledge, skill and adaptation.

We work through three critical steps in the outcomes development process:

Step 1: Analyzing the gap in sales performance.
Step 2: Defining the desired outcomes for the course.
Step 3: Working with Subject-Matter-Experts to define the concept and content of the course.

Learn how to confidently lead the training needs analysis and outcome development process. Establish your credibility as a strategic performance development partner using the 4MAT performance analysis tools and outcomes framework that deliver measurable training ROI.

The ability to deliver quantifiable results on training investment is critical. Linking performance results to training begins with defining clear learning outcomes. In this session, we will explore a four-part model for defining learning outcomes. You will use this model to identify the results you are tasked with producing while linking the critical learner behaviors that will deliver this result. This hands-on session will give you an opportunity to apply the model to a common training scenario. By using the model provided, you will identify how to prioritize your time in the course design. You will also positively impact training results while significantly accelerating the design process.

Course objectives:

  • Use an easy-to-apply model to define measurable learning outcomes.
     
  • Conduct a Training Needs Analysis to determine training focus.
     
  • Work with Subject-Matter-Experts to identify knowledge, skill and attitude differences between low- and high-performers.
     
  • Use the Question Inventory to guide the Needs Analysis process.
     
  • Determine how to measure the four key learning outcomes.
     
  • Build a cohesive assessment strategy that guides the instructional design process.
     
  • Link activity choice to learner outcomes.
     
  • Build and assess an outcomes-based instructional design.

Your biggest opportunity for growth lies in maximizing your natural strengths. The 4MAT Learning Type Measure® provides an in-depth analysis of your learning style strengths. Your learning style refers to your preferences in how you take in and make meaning of information. In this session, we will explore how to maximize your strengths to position yourself to contribute at the highest level.

Here are some of the key questions we will explore:

  • How does my style interact with other styles?
     
  • How can I adapt my approach to engage others when communicating and leading?
     
  • What is my team leader’s style? How can I adjust my communication approach to maximize this relationship?
     
  • What roles do people with my style excel in?
     
  • What are some ways I can help my team maximize their strengths?
     
  • What strategies can I use to make sure my weak areas don’t hold me back?
