I’ve been taking a course on learning effectiveness, and one idea that stood out to me was that engaging learning requires information to flow in multiple directions, not just course → learner.

Learners should also be sending information back through activities, discussions, reflections, opinions, questions, and feedback. Ideally, information flows between learners as well.

It got me wondering:

• For those of you who design or deliver training, what are the most effective ways you’ve found to create these feedback loops?
• Have you seen any approaches that genuinely increased engagement and behavior change, rather than just completion rates?

P.S. If anyone’s interested, the course is called How to Measure Learning Effectiveness and it’s on GoSkills. It’s a fairly short course, but I thought it did a good job of introducing different ways to think about evaluating learning programs and measuring their impact.
