I have created a short list of questions related to level 1 e-learning evaluations but would really like some input on other questions that might be appropriate at the end of an e-learning class. Please feel free to add some of those questions as a comment to this blog or write a posting on your own blog and I'll link.
Here is what I have so far:
- How relevant was the course content to your job?
- How effectively will you be able to apply what you’ve learned to your job?
- How closely does the content match the tasks you perform on a daily basis?
- How valuable will the content be in helping you to better perform your job?
- How convenient did you find the online learning module?
- Rate the ease-of-navigation of the online learning module?
I place most of these questions on a Likert-type scale. (1-5 with 1 being good and 5 rerepresenting bad)
I realize the questions are only the learner's opinion after a learning event, however, I believe some merit can be given to the learner's opinion:)
What questions might you ask?

The first question I've asked:
"Overall, on a scale from 1 to 10, would you say it was a good experience or bad experience?"
Then I follow it up with good/bad "Learning experience". In my PhD program, the answer to question one is usually a 1-4. With my undergrads, it's more of a 3-7. Answer two usually sees a small increase for both crowds.
Should we care if they aren't having a good EXPERIENCE, but are having an above average LEARNING experience?
Unfortunately, I get the impression a lot of designers don't ask, or simply don't care, about question one. I guess it's the gamer/net-gener in me, but I care quite a bit about the overall experience (in addition to the learning experience).
Bart,
Bravo, good but simple question. Experience is important.
I find it interesting to hear that level 1 is not evaluated in e-learning as it seems to be the most popular and often only form of evaluation for f2f training.
Something that I noticed while reading through your questions is that the first 4 that you offer seem to set up or at least give a notion as to the motivation to actually change on the job behaviors which will be measured (perhaps) at level 3.
I also find that the Likert-type scale would seem to give a better indication than true/false questioning. Even without the level one being able stand the rigor of statistical analysis, the Likert-type responses can allow for some educated assumptions.
