Learning Impact Research - 28-11-2011

SkillGate Learning Impact Research is offered to provide additional statistical learning analysis for review by training managers and consultants.
We aim to offer learning statistics associated with specific learning interventions (and a minimal level of interpretation) so that trainers can make their own analysis having reviewed the training offered.

  • 83% of delegates who started the tutorial completed the lesson.
  • 52% of delegates attempted the second part test after two days.
  • Two thirds of the delegates remembered the names more than 75% of the faces.

    This tutorial was a repeat of the tutorial issued a year ago in November 2010.

    We wanted to see if repeating the tutorial degraded (or improved) the learning experience.

    We asked people who had completed the tutorial before the following:

    How useful do you feel repeating this tutorial today has been?

    We asked people who had NOT completed the tutorial before the following:

     
    -+++
