Leader Talk: Embedding Learning Analytics in Training to Assess Learner Performance

Learning isn't a one-time event; it is a continuous journey of improvement. By tracking what learners think, feel, and do as they navigate a course, L&D teams can move past simple completion rates and measure true progress toward proficiency. Grounded in real-world application, this session explores how gathering meaningful data signals helps demonstrate job readiness, refine training impact, and secure executive buy-in.

In this session, John Cleave, Director of Systemic Solutions, will describe practical ways to gather real-time insights into learner decision-making, confidence, and engagement, bridging the gap to key strategies for measuring true impact. 

This leader talk offers practical guidance on how to:

• Define high-value behavioral indicators before course creation so you can report on job readiness rather than simple course completion.
• Embed real-time decision checks and pulse assessments into modules to capture learner knowledge gain, reasoning, confidence and ability to apply skills.
• Use capstone simulations as diagnostic tools that generate hard evidence on how well employees perform in real-world conditions.
• Take advantage of your L&D tech stack to capture useful learning analytics data.
