Learning Effectiveness

Learning effectiveness describes how well a learning activity achieves its intended outcomes. Evidence may include knowledge gained, skills demonstrated, behaviour applied or improvements in relevant work results.

Example

After a safety session, supervisors observe whether workers correctly carry out the procedure and review errors over a suitable follow-up period.
