I have included Kirkpatrick’s Four Levels of Evaluation in every proposal I have ever written, and I wanted to hear from Kirkpatrick himself regarding his take on the current state of evaluation and whether his four levels are still viable. Well, based on where Kirkpatrick and his son James are today, I was completely wrong.

Organizational change management, as usual, is right near the top of the list: A major contributor to the importance of change management stems from the impact on workers’ job roles, and the degree to which those changes can affect their careers.

And as time has gone by, I have started to wonder about the validity of Kirkpatrick in today’s world. Company executives are typically interested in the bottom line, not how well their employees apply the learning from a training class. What I liked was that McGoldrick didn’t critique the Kirkpatrick model. But it wasn’t.

Just as the corporate world thought they had caught up to adult learning norms with the adoption of eLearning, and some with blended learning, along comes social learning. I believe user adoption or training should be developed with the intent of creating a social epidemic, or should we say ‘workplace epidemic.’

Trent Batson wrote a great piece on technology adoption in the classroom a couple weeks ago entitled Faculty ‘Buy in’ – to What? Academia needs a coherent learning theory, or set of theories, that provides guidance for building the road system so the cars can operate. Sad, but true. Do you know of any other road-builders?

The myth of the lone genius having a eureka moment that changes the world is indeed a myth. Because video is, apparently, a perfect manifestation of social learning theory. My learning philosophy: dont make people tote around loads of information in their heads just so you can say you trained them.
