This list is great to generate ideas for questions, but it is not a good list to provide to learners. Good evaluation questions must enable learners to answer with some precision, they must avoid bias, they must ask about information that is directly relevant to effectiveness. While some of these questions pass the test, many fall short.
- NicoleLegault110 years agoCommunity MemberAbsolutely true, Will! These questions are intended to help generate thought, but at the end of the day, as an Instructional Designer, you should be incoporate evaluation into all phases of the design and development process, if you want to be able to really glean meaningful insights into how successful your training is and what the impact is on the bottom line.
That's why I wrote this post: https://community.articulate.com/articles/post-course-evaluations-what-e-learning-designers-need-to-know.

- AnandChandarana6 years agoCommunity MemberGenerally agree with Will that too often training evaluation surveys are loaded with self-serving questions (what can L&D improve to get higher satisfaction ratings) vs. questions that actually measure the impact and value of learning. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20140811210349-6270738-smile-sheets-vs-smart-sheets-feel-good-or-get-smarter/
