The Mindtools L&D Podcast 457 — Evaluation or justification?
Now for something completely different!
A couple of weeks ago, Carl Akintola wrote a provocative guest post for The L&D Dispatch, challenging L&D practitioners to interogate their motives for measuring learning impact. Are they in it purely for the sake of evaluation and continuous improvement? Or are they merely trying to justify their own existence?
This week on The Mindtools L&D Podcast, Carl takes over hosting duties, and runs Ross G and Ross D through the scenario he outlined in the newsletter.
In 'What I Learned This Week', Ross D mentioned 'The Bad-Mouthing of British Teeth', an episode of the Decoder Ring podcast.
Ross G described the so-called 'Gen Z stare'.
And Carl confused the Rosses with a maths problem, based on the 'Monty Hall problem'.
