Learning objectives

At the end of this session you should be able to explain • the role of continuing professional development in a knowledge-based enterprise • a balanced approach to ROI • a multi-modal approach to CPD • basic principles of Designing for Learning • and bust some sad myths

 

Oxford Centre for Staff and Learning Development

Sad myths?

• One firm training manager surmises that it will take between 50 and 200 development hours to produce one instructional hour • … industry insiders say that initial development costs can run from $5,000 - $35,000 • … lack of human contact can create a static learning environment Activity • In pairs or small groups, identify at least one counter example to each of these statements.

Topic

Oxford Centre for Staff and Learning Development

The role of CPD: Managing change in…

1. Socio-economic-political environment • stakeholders, shareholders, principals and agents • legislation and regulation • governance and accountability • assurance •

Cultural environment • working practices • family patterns



Natural environment



Personal environment • your own aims, ambitions

 

Oxford Centre for Staff and Learning Development

Compliance • Compliance is practically a full-time job by itself, not just because of the constant changes, but because of the mandatory training requirements (Cormier 2006)

ROI: two perspectives

1. Too hard • Research by Ashridge Business School has found that it is almost impossible to quantify ROI around management development because there are so many variables involve • net programme benefits cannot be accurately predicted and require complex assumptions concerning the future effectiveness of a programme

ROI: two perspectives

• Has to be done •

 

Measuring the impact of training comes down to asking the right questions to find the data that can be linked to changed behavior

ROI: Activity

In pairs/small groups produce a short list of:

 



What you need to know: what data will be useful



What questions will elicit that data

ROI: has to be done

Measuring the impact of training comes down to asking the right questions to find the data that can be linked to changed behavior

Superficial • ask learners to rate how happy they were • list the “take homes” • Use psychometrics (Myers Briggs, Belbin) to relate multiple motivation to departmental objectives • establish Learning Transfer Climate, e.g. making sure someone's boss had been on a course before them • Apprenticeships are cost-effective and low-risk methods of identifying people with high potential: trainees AND mentors • treat entry-level jobs as development opportunities. • hire college students to do entry level jobs part time with a view to talent spotting • Formal coaching demonstrates high return-on-investment Significant

Philips evaluation methodology

Reaction and planned action (near term) • e.g. 90% of participants indicate intention to apply new knowledge within 1 month • e.g. 80% of participants indicated the training “represented good value for the company” Learning (near to mid term) • compliance testing Application (mid term) • formal and informal diagnosis of learning and planned action through observation and conversation Business impact (mid to long term) • align departmental aims with corporate and individual aims and structure training interventions around departmental aims Value of Investment • growth, development, sustainability • shareholder value Intangibles

Communities of Practice Benchmarking clubs ROI networks Reframe conceptions of learning and teaching in the networked environment • Learner-centred experiential learning

Discourse technologies

• Development is continuous: a conversation with the world, life, and everything • punctuated waves • pressure boosting • Use instruments to measure • Matrices • Checklists • Semi-structured interviews • 360 degree review • HRD Learning Management Systems (LMS) • Value the informal along with the formal • Pareto rules • Counting everything is not efficient or effective

Designing for learning (D4L)

The systematic approach 1. 2. 3. 4.

Write aims and outcomes Identify topics Structure the programme Design teaching and learning strategies taking into account student characteristics 5. Identify, select and design learning resources 6. Plan and design assessments 7. Evaluate

Learning outcomes

Learning outcomes describe: • the kinds of knowledge the learner is expected to be able to employ • the kinds of problems learners may be expected to solve • the kinds of skills (intellectual, interpersonal, practical) which the student is expected to be able to use • the conditions under which the student is expected to be able to demonstrate their attainments • some indication of the level of performance that will be expected  

Oxford Centre for Staff and Learning Development

Learning outcomes

Why an outcomes-based approach? • Outcomes define students knowledge, understanding, intellectual and subject specific skills at each level. • Outcomes clarify the purpose of the course – for you and your students • Outcomes help you decide and prioritise which topics to teach, and in what depth • Outcomes help define appropriate teaching and learning strategies • Thinking about how students demonstrate their learning leads naturally to purposeful assessment tasks  

Oxford Centre for Staff and Learning Development

Learning outcomes

But, • Outcomes have been criticised for being reductionist – especially when written for lower cognitive levels • Outcomes usually focus on knowledge, neglecting attitudes, values, motivations and interests • May limit the unexpected outcomes of learning

Online programs provide: Myth or magic?

flexibility accessibility convenience a consistent message ease with updating integration of learning and work

increased impact of the money invested in training programs, significantly reduced employee travel cost and time the ability to train more people, more frequently and in shorter sessions that are easier to coordinate and schedule • online training is scaleable because it offers the ability to add instructors and students as needed, with fewer changes

A continuum of learning



Learning, change, and innovation are part of the same continuum and are not discrete activities • Communication, Coaching, Consulting

Value time Plan ahead Structure the programme Make it mandatory Keep it flexible Build in reflection Assess and evaluate every intervention (Bates 2006, Howe & Kornfeind 2006)

Human capital: ROI = Return on Intelligence



Long-term organizational ROI in knowledge-based industries means making routine investments in human capital • Value of the investment in training goes beyond the compliance requirements • When combined with macro-level analysis… ROI studies supply the proof of the impact of learning and development

Commit to your investment Know your goal Create a positive culture Measure progress Offer feedback Structure applied learning
