Impact Of IVD

• Less face-to-face contact
• Learning is objectively and quantifiably measured
• Content must be explicitly specified and approved
• IVD training takes longer to develop and change
• Resources are needed to manage the IVD environment

35
How Will IVD Change Your Organization?

36
Questions To Ask Yourself

• How is instruction offered now?
• What learning objectives can be accomplished by
  IVD?
• What objectives or by-products can not be
  accomplished by IVD?
• Who will develop and approve IVD instructional
  lessons?

37
Questions To Ask Yourself

• How will IVD training performance be measured?
• How will trainees react to the new IVD
  technology?
• Who will manage the IVD software and hardware?
• How will IVD be updated?

38
Setting Up An IVD Environment

• Select a conducive atmosphere
• Develop and post job aids

39
Setting Up An IVD Environment

• File the hardware manuals, invoices, and
  warranties maintenance system

40
Assessing IVD

• Is the assessment grounded to job requirements?
• Do scores reflect just post-tests scores?
• Can courses be retaken? If so, how will the
  scores count?
• How will test security be maintained?

41
Assessing IVD

• Who and upon what basis will test scores be
  interpreted?
• Who will have access to test scores and how will
  they be retrieved?
• How will feedback be used to update and revise
  courses?
• Who will determine if and when course
  modifications will occur
