If they completed the training, did they actually learn?

An interactive ID Power Hour exploring one of the most common assumptions in workplace learning — through a realistic case where the metrics look good, but the outcomes tell a different story.

In this session, we
  • Explored the difference between completion, learning, and behavior change
  • Discussed the role of training in reducing workplace risk
  • Examined how learning success should be measured
  • Shared ideas for creating learning experiences that go beyond compliance

Past SessionID Power Hour

The SME Who Controls Everything

We explored a realistic case where an instructional designer is asked to design a critical training while working with a highly experienced SME who controls every detail of the process. As content grows and decisions slow down, learning design starts to take a back seat.

In this session, we
  • Analyzed a real-world SME-driven training scenario
  • Explored the tension between subject matter expertise and learning design
  • Discussed how to navigate strong stakeholder influence
  • Shared practical ways to protect the learner experience
