You will receive three valuable tools and six tips which ensure that your evaluation efforts are valid and feasible. The first tool helps you classify programs in a way that prescribes the appropri ate metrics and methods for evaluating their worth and effectiveness. The second helps identify data you can leverage to demonstrate your program’s impact because you are using metrics that clients value and understand. The third helps clients understand that evaluation starts in the beginning, is on-going, and answers different questions along the way. The tips cover best practices, how to save time, present data so it is understandable, and more. 303 Science and Memory: 7 Tips That Improve E-Learning Art Kohn, Professor, Cognitive Neuroscience, Portland State University/ AKLearning Scientific research has given us insights into the secrets of learning and memory. This highly interactive session will provide dramatic examples of factors that increase (and sometimes decrease) learning and memory. We will present illustrations of how advertisers effectively incorporate these principles into their campaign and then provide concrete examples of how you can build these into your e-learning and maximize learning and behavior change. This session explores a novel and immersive form of online courseware that greatly increases learning and memory. The courseware provides a video-based performance of a textbook and surrounds it with powerful pedagogical tools that create a sense of immersion and dramatically increase learning. Training 2012 Conference & Expo 304 Learning Styles: Myth or Reality Jolly Holden, Associate Professor, American InterContinental University The recurring debate concerning the efficacy of learning styles and their impact on learning outcomes has been reflected in the literature for the past 60 years. Research has not overwhelmingly supported the premise that learning styles are a useful variable when designing instruction for adult learners. Since the goal of designing instruction is to attain the desired learning outcomes, the question one must answer is: Do learning styles really matter Join this lively session as we: ❙ Define learning styles. ❙ Differentiate learning styles from learning modalities. ❙ Discuss why learning styles do not affect learning outcomes. 305 How Simulations Can Teach Leadership and Business Acumen Bjorn Billhardt, CEO, Enspire Static e-learning courseware is underperforming expectations and failing to deliver on improvements in behavior, especially in areas of leadership and business acumen skills. Practicebased simulations modeling real-world situations and dilemmas in a social context have the ability to finally deliver on the promise of effective online leadership training. But how can and should companies apply these simulations effectively Learn: ❙ When and how to deploy simulation-based training environments online and in the classroom. ❙ How to best create scalable, meaningful softskills training environments using live online interactions for a dispersed workforce. ❙ What’s next on the horizon of interactive online training using games and simulations. 306 Learning for Today: The New Blended Model Lance Dublin, CEO/Chief Solution Architect, Dublin Consulting In the early 2000s, organizations began to build ‘blended learning’ by combining multiple learning approaches within one program, typically instructor-led training with a wide variety of e-learning tools and electronic media. The new model represents a much different philosophy and approach. It is not merely the combination of activities, but rather the integration of them into one seamless solution —using the full range of technologies, tools and approaches available. Learn how major organizations are applying this new model today to combine processes of learning and on-the-job performance to produce meaningful and measureable business results.

This is troubling as evaluation is ISPI HPT standard 10 requiring that a practitioner design a strategy with measureable goal-based outcomes, specify data collection and utilization of data from sources, select a sample, interpret data, validate results, develop and report recommen da tions, and explain the importance of evaluation.
