 ATDps: June 2016 Chapter Meeting

     Designing Effective Learning Exams  

Speaker  Resource

Learning professionals are often tasked with developing materials that will have a lasting impact in the workplace. Part of that impact is having training outcomes that can be supported by data. One of the easiest ways to support your training initiatives with data is to incorporate a formal (or informal) assessment. However, writing exam questions is not as simple as choosing the “most important” ideas taught during training. Designing effective exams is integral to creating the foundation for data management when formative or summative assessment is necessary. This session will give you the knowledge and tools to write exams that provide useful data over a long period.

After the session, participants will be able to:

• Understand the fundamentals of writing a good exam question
• Understand the relationship between learning objectives and exam questions
• Define discrimination, validity, and reliability for exams
• Know how discrimination, validity, and reliability support long-term data integrity
• Be able to communicate exam strategy to a client
• Demonstrate the ability to assess the strength of exam questions
• Write a 5 question exam on a training case study

This chapter meeting will focus on the Instructional Design and Evaluating Learning Impact pillars of ATD's overall competency model.
