ICICLE March 2025 Community Call: Part II with Will Thalheimer, Consultant, Speaker, Researcher on Learning-Evaluation at Work-Learning Research
The ICICLE monthly community call is February 19th at 12pm ET. At the November 2024 community call, Will Thalheimer of Work-Learning Research shared with us ideas about learning evaluation, data for decision-making, and impact. He will share the rest of the story, discuss the implications for Learning Engineering, answer questions and have a conversation with the community in this month’s call.
Will is one of the leading innovators in workplace learning evaluation, creating a distinctive questioning approach about learner surveys, an evaluation framework that brings learning wisdom back into the learning-evaluation process, LTEM (the Learning Transfer Evaluation Model), and an evaluation approach called LEADS (Learning Evaluation As Decision Support).We’ll be meeting via Webex for the community call. (See details below with meeting code and password.) It is scheduled for one hour’s length. Full agenda will be posted here.
Discover the world of learning engineering in post-secondary contexts and register for “An Invitation to Learning Engineering” on Wednesday, March 26th, 2025 at 1pmET/10amPT.
