Evaluation

I have found myself going back and forth in  the past week, trying to understand implementation and evaluation. Nonetheless, I have found the articles written by Michael Treser on the different phases of  ADDIE model very helpful. You can find them at: https://elearningindustry.com/getting-know-addie-analysis. From what I have been able to glean from the literature, evaluation can be formative or summative.  Formative evaluation is done as part of the learning process and is used to evaluate the quality of the materials being used and their reception by learners. Summative evaluation on the other hand is done at the end of the course to determine whether or not the training had a positive effect.

For formative assessment I intend to use small group evaluation and a short survey (probably use google forms), while for summative evaluation would use the Donald Kirkpatrick evaluation model - arguably the standard for evaluating the effectiveness of training.
