In Chapter 7, the evaluation phase asks: “How’d it go?” and “Would you do it again?”. I also found it interesting that the author stressed the question: “What’s the point of this evaluation?”. For instance, is there a need to see the likability or engagement of the course? Then, the evaluation should focus on that. Is there a need to see mastery of a skill? Focus the evaluation on content mastery.
There are some similarities between the Evaluation stage and the evaluation done within the Analysis stage. Both are asking important questions like: who is this training for? What is the purpose? Why does it matter? However, in the Evaluation (end) stage, you are discovering what the learner gained from the training/learning experience, using questions and/or interviews about their experience and understanding.
