Learning and development teams have more data than ever before, from completion rates and satisfaction scores to engagement dashboards and learning analytics. Yet many organizations still struggle to answer one critical question: Did learning actually improve performance?
In this interactive session, Vanessa Milara Alzate explores how to move beyond vanity metrics such as attendance, satisfaction, and course completion toward meaningful performance intelligence. Using the modernized Kirkpatrick Four Levels®, you will learn how to design elearning programs with evaluation built into the process from the start.
Through real-world examples, the session demonstrates how LMS analytics, digital learning platforms, and data dashboards can be used to measure behavior change and business outcomes rather than simple activity tracking. Participants will also explore how instructional design decisions, learning technology data, and organizational goals can work together within a unified evaluation strategy.
By the end of the session, participants will be able to
- Differentiate between vanity learning metrics and performance-based evaluation indicators.
- Design elearning programs that integrate the Kirkpatrick Four Levels® evaluation framework from the start.
- Apply learning technology data (LMS analytics, digital learning tools, and performance metrics) to demonstrate measurable business impact.
