Components of a Learning Strategy

In Chapter 28 of Lee and Owens, there are four components of a learning strategy outlined. The largest component is the learning strategy itself, which is an organizations overall philosophy of goals it wants to achieve through learning. The second component is the e-learning strategy; this defines any technology needed to deliver training. This is include the KSA's neede to develop and implement this technology as well. Thirdly, the evaluation strategy defines how the previous two strategies will be measured. Lastly, the evaluation plan is something that is developed for each individual plan. This chapter focuses primarily on the evaluation strategy. In order to produce an evaluation strategy, you must write an introduction, determine evaluation requirements, and determine a complete list of sources that everyone must be knowledgeable about . Creating an evaluation strategy is critically important in the last phases of a training plan. Evaluation will help many organizations determine whether or not the training that was implemented was worth the investment.
