'What did you think of the trainer' and 'How was the lunch?' These are two questions we won't be asking today, as we get stuck into effective learner surveys.
Ross G and Owen are joined by Gent Ahmetaj, Head of Research at Mind Tools for Business, to discuss:
- the problem with traditional learner surveys
- the features of an academically robust survey
- issues with this approach and how to resolve them.
