**//Assessment Strategies//**


 * Pre-Assessment ||  Needs assessment was conducted to determine the problem or performance gap
 * Pre-Assessment ||  Needs assessment was conducted to determine the problem or performance gap

 Also conducted was a process evaluation to determine best delivery methods with regard to leaner specifics from learner analysis

 As our instructional module is a pilot program and is heavily based on affective objectives, we will not provide any sort of a written pre-assessment of course ||   During the tryout/pilot course formative assessment data will be collected in various ways and be documented in a performance-content matrix Example of data collection:
 *  Formative ||  During each phase of design there have been ongoing interviews with SME’s & managers to ensure the instructional objectives were still valid and workplace  

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Reactions from learners (observations) <span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Discussion & recall of definitions and concepts <span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Presentations of information by the learners

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">As this will be our first pilot group we will also video tape the presentation and review delivery, content flow, non verbals of participants and course timelines ||
 * <span style="display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"> Summative || <span style="display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"> A course evaluation will be handed out to all participants at the end of the course to glean immediate feedback. It will cover...

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Were the course objectives met? <span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Was the facilitator effective? <span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Was the environment safe and conducive to learning? <span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">What could be improved about the course? <span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">What was the most significant thing you learned? <span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">How will you apply this information? <span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Your overall satisfaction with course

<span style="display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"> One week after the course a more details assessment/survey will be sent to all participants. This will be more detailed and cover topics that are more open ended like...

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Share what have you been able to apply from the course thus far. <span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Provide examples of how you have enhanced cross cultural communication. <span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Share an example of how you recognized you were incorporating a bias into your behaviour and were able to reduce the use of that bias.

<span style="display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"> One month after the course we will conduct interviews with SME and managers to determine if behaviours and attitudes presented in the course are being demonstrated.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Again, because we are measuring mostly affective objectives and outcomes the best way to do see is to SEE the behaviour being implemented.

<span style="display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"> All participants will be required to do post course application. The post application content will be reviewed in context to instructional objectives.

<span style="display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"> Providing all measure show we are on target with the instruction, After six months participants from the pilot course will be chosen to present and demonstrate at next course ||

<span style="display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"> During the tryout/pilot course formative assessment data will be collected in various ways and be documented in a performance-content matrix and utilizing a series or predetermined quality questions.

<span style="display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"> We will conduct interviews with SME and managers after the course has been presented. <span style="display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"> We will gather information from observations <span style="display: block; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"> All participants will be required to do post course application. Information and feedback will be taken from the application exercises. ||
