4Ds of Learning Solutions
When we approach a learning requirement one has to look at four aspects for developing a solution and ensuring that it delivers what is expected. I would like to refer to it as:
4D Model for Learning Solutions:
Design
Develop
Deliver
Determine
What is done for each of the above Ds affects the final outcomes from a learning initiative.
While this model can be applied to any type of learning initiative, whether its classroom, eLearning, hybrid etc., this article focusses on eLearning solutions.
I have seen that quite a few eLearning solutions focus on the first 3 Ds – Design, Develop and Deliver very well but the solution does not have “Determine” integrated suitably within itself. Even if it is included in form of end of course assessments, its not very accurate reflection of the actual amount of proficiency acquired by the learner in the subject matter.
Moreover, it is widely known that assessments with multiple choice questions are contaminated with guesswork and weak in determining fairly accurately the outcomes from learning.
Activated Learning is a powerful approach to all 4 Ds for learning. Most importantly “Determine”, wherein the personalization of learning process for each learner is driven with a complex set of algorithms that are designed to meet a wide range of learning requirements, one of which is accurate measurement of knowledge mastery of the learner.
It is inspired by the quality management processes in manufacturing, wherein the product quality is determined as the product is being manufactured at every stage. This is to help negate the need to conduct any quality tests at the end of the process.
So when a learner achieves 80% in Activated Learning one can be certain about the level of knowledge mastery achieved by the learner.
If you are concerned about ensuring that your learning solution delivers measurable learning outcomes with high degree of certainty, you must consider trying Activated Learning and experiencing it. Ensure that you have a sound ROI on your learning initiative. For more information you may reach out on – info (at) learningrevolution.co
