Topic #2 – Evaluation Tools — Surveys and Beyond Use at least two resources from the class.

In your training plan assignment, you are asked to create an evaluation tool to assess your training plan. Surveys are the most common form of assessment, but there are other choices. Compare and contrast (1) online surveys (such as an online training workshop evaluation using Survey Monkey) with another type evaluation tool (such as testing, interviews, or focus groups as examples). (2) Identify how each can best be used in a training evaluation. (3) Explain why these two evaluation tools can be an effective way to assess your training objectives.
