Last week, Don Kirkpatrick passed away. Rather than measuring the cost of hour of seat time or some other measure of efficiency, or, worse, not measuring at all, here was a plan that was designed to focus on meaningful change that the business needed. And it’s instructive to see why on both sides.

Using The Kirkpatrick Model. One of the more well known ways to measure elearning and training initiatives is with the Kirkpatrick evaluation model. The point here is that Kirkpatrick emphasizes five different evaluation methods. This is why business leaders get frustrated with the idea of elearning.

I have often written in the past about the strengths of using an elearning model, such as ADDIE , for course design, development, and delivery. I still happen to believe that ADDIE (or derivatives of this framework) tend to capture the most under the instructional design umbrella, but that’s not to say there aren’t any flaws.

A very common question that Instructional Designers field from clients goes something like this: “The training plan looks great; now how will I be able to tell if it has an impact?” . Because when a game is well-designed (as yours surely will be), the learner is effectively assessing himself by his very progress. .

I was defending Kirkpatrick’s levels the other day, and after being excoriated by my ITA colleagues, I realized there was not only a discrepancy between principle and practice, but between my interpretation and as it’s espoused. And then, applying Kirkpatrick starting with Level 4 is appropriate.

In many cases, the evaluation design is an afterthought as precedence is given to the actual training content. Arguably, the design of your evaluations should begin near the start of the entire project. There are many evaluation theories that you can go with for your training (my personal favorite being the Kirkpatrick model).

So, there’s a lot of debate about the Kirkpatrick model, whether it helps or hinders the movement towards good learning. And, of course, to better learning design overall.
