Dear Symphony,
Have you measured the training effectiveness on the Kirk Patrick Level-2 evaluation in your company? If yes, then would you mind to share your experience? Why did you stop at just level-2 and did not scale upward till level-4? Would you mind to elucidate?
Thanks,
Dinesh V Divekar
Please follow the Kirk Patrick Level-2 evaluation. It is very effective

I have recently started working as a trainer. Working with a company which is focusing on integrating technology in schools.My profile includes making the training modules and giving the product training to the school teachers. The challenge I am facing is the time constraint. I hardly can convince the teachers to devote couple of hours to actually learn the technology and deliver.In this scenario how can I measure effectiveness of my training?

Ideally, the training effectiveness measurement should be done after 3 months, however it also depend on the type, duration and other factors.
Also, below is the link for questionnaire. Hope it will help.

Dear Sneha,
Gone through post post. Give me little more information about your job or your product training. While conducting training, you should always focus on benefits of using this product. What is increased or what is decreased has to be specified clearly.
Secondly, there is difference between "training" and "education". Are you conducting former or latter? Calculating ROI for latter is quite difficult.
You may call me on my mobile however, in my very first post of this thread, I have given two links. Please go through them and then call me. Possibly, when you go through those two links, your query might get settled.
Thanks,

Dear Dinesh,

Thanks for the reply. You very well have quoted the point of education and training. Well let me just explain you something more about the product and my job.In our traditional education system in schools, using laptops, or interactive boards still are rare. And also, the teachers are reluctant to use them as they are alien to these products because of the fear of using technology. My company has introduced software which would aid students learning through audio visual methods.Also, it has features which enables teachers to eliminate the usage of paper and switch completely to the software for all her tasks. Now to support that software proper hardware needs to be installed like, interactive board,a laptop,projector etc.My job is to basically train the teachers to use all of these.

I have created a module wherein my focus is to first eliminate all the apprehensions they carry. Then I gradually move on to the basics. For eg : Connecting a laptop to the projector. Thereafter,I introduce them to the actual software which has the same textbook contents which they use along with some animations and various other features like making question papers,attendance,quizzes etc. Now to reinforce all these things, I have made a few activities which would also encourage interaction. My concern is that after all this effort I need to know whether this would be effectively put to use. In schools, after the school hours teachers are very impatient to attend any sort of training session. Maximum I can do is, take a feedback but how do I measure the effectiveness in the time constraint?

PS : I am not myself sure if the effectiveness is measurable here as I am conducting such sessions for the first time.

Kindly help.

Dear Sneha,

I have read and digested your exchanges with Dinesh Divekar. Please excuse me for using this as an example to make some general points to other bloggers.

When we post queries it is always useful to give the complete scenario in the first instance to save time and get precise answers to our queries.

In your case, certain points highlighted in your response detailing the situation, leads to a few more questions. Is the training held after working hours? If so, are they compensated? If not, can we really take issues with them being impatient?

Has the school bought your equipment or have you given them on loan for trying it out? If the former, then whether the technology will be put to effective use should be of concern to the management of the school. If the latter, then you should be concerned. The effective use of equipment depends upon factors that may not be within your control. For example, the workload and the support given by the school management and also the willingness of workers and their personal circumstances. For example my friend, who was going to retire in 3 years time, refused to adopt new technology as he was not going to get extra money for that. As he was very active in the union, the management could not do a thing, and they let him use the manual system to which he was habituated.

Hi Simhan
The trainings are held after the working hours. And I don't think they are compensated as most of the times they get the intimation at a very short notice.
And the equipment that we install is bought by the school. We don't rent the equipment. But thanks for clarifying my query. The thing is I don't have anyone at workplace to guide me through the process and was getting worried on this.
Thanks for suggestions :)

Kindly put yourself in their situation and see how you would feel. I would not stay behind for any unscheduled training. As an ex-academic who had to migrate from writing on the board, to the use of OHP slides, to the use of interactive Smart Boards, I can assure you that teachers will use it when they find that it saves time and/or when pressure comes from pupils/students.
Do your sessions involve only informing them of how to use the equipment or do they get time to practice the various steps?

Well, initially the usage of smart boards I feel they would restrict for writing and using a few basic tools. What I have planned is not to overload them by telling them all the tools in the first session itself. In the first session, I would introduce them to the basics and let them practice it to a level where they are open to explore it more. Then conduct subsequent sessions for them to explore advanced features.
Also, you being from the same I would like to share the presentation that I have prepared with you so I can receive an appropriate feedback.
