Measuring the results of online training is critical for determining its efficacy and suggesting areas for improvement. Here are five approaches of measuring these outcomes:
 

1. Assessment scores and quizzes.
Pre- and Post-Training Assessments: To measure knowledge gain, compare scores before and after training.
Quizzes and Tests: Conducting regular quizzes throughout training can help track continuing learning development.

2. Completion Rate
Course Completion: The percentage of participants who finish the full course or specific modules might indicate the training's overall effectiveness.

Time to Completion: How long it takes learners to finish the course can provide information about the training's difficulty or student motivation.

3. Learners' Feedback and Surveys
Post-Training Surveys: Gathering input on the relevance, quality, and usefulness of training materials aids in determining learner satisfaction and perceived value.

Net Promoter Score (NPS): This metric determines how likely participants are to suggest the course to others, offering an indication of overall satisfaction.

4. Behavioural Change:

Assessing learners' ability to use newly acquired skills and information in real-world circumstances might indicate training efficacy.

Performance indicators: By linking training to specific performance indicators (such as sales numbers or customer happiness), you may demonstrate the impact on job performance.

5. Engagement Analytics:

Tracking participant engagement with training content, including module duration, multimedia interaction, and discussions/forums.

Drop-off Rates: Analysing where learners tend to disengage or drop off might help discover parts of training that could be improved.

These methods provide a full understanding of training effectiveness and can be used to improve future online training programs.
