Lesson 4: Does Training Make the Grade?

Activity 4: Training Methods and Evaluation (100 points)

You are the Training Director for a newly created Internet provider, Interdependent Operations Company (IOC). IOC has locations in 152 cities, ranging from locations that have only one employee who works from home, to locations that have offices with 20-30 people. To create this business, IOC purchased another Internet service provider that was not profitable. The company’s inability to produce a profit was determined to be a result of improper training of the customer service staff and outdated methods for recording the information that the customer service staff collects. 

It is your job to design a training program for the customer service staff to use when potential customers call them on the toll-free phone line, or when customers are referred to a customer service representative as a follow-up to a sales call. IOC has maintained the customer service staff from the former company, but the employees in this department need to be trained to better manage customer calls and enter data collected from the customers. 

Utilizing the Required Readings, write a report that includes the following. Your Activity responses should be both grammatically and mechanically correct and formatted in the same fashion as the Activity itself. If there is a Part A, your response should identify a Part A, etc. In addition, you must appropriately cite all resources used in your response and document them in a bibliography using APA style. (100 points) (A 3-page response is required.)

Part A The method or methods that you would use to design the training, the reason or reasons for your selection, and the reasons why you did not choose the other methods (20 points) 

Part B Which three (3) of the four (4) evaluation levels you would use to determine the effectiveness of the training program, the reasons for your selection, and the reasons why you did not choose the other level (16 points) 

Part C Which two (2) of Kirkpatrick’s training outcomes you would measure, the reasons for your selection, and the reasons why you did not choose the other outcomes (16 points) 

Part D  The type of evaluation design that you would select, the reasons for your selection, and the reasons why you did not choose any of the three (3) other types. (24 points) 

Part E As you are completing this activity, please bear in mind that the following initiatives have been mandated to you, as the Training Director, by the upper management at IOC. You must clearly incorporate each of these six (6) initiatives into your response. (24 points)

1. The training must be as cost-effective as possible at the present time. However, they are willing to contribute money to the initial training if there will be a cost savings over the long-term as a result of the training, and if employees added to the customer service staff can benefit from the method you establish.

2. Employees must all receive the training during the same time frame.

3. Training must be consistent from one location to the next.

4. Training should be completed within the shortest amount of time possible.

5. There must be immediate feedback for the employees and those to whom the employees report regarding their progress in learning the new program, without benefit of a face-to-face supervisor or trainer on site to monitor or check their learning status, and with the ability to collect all necessary evaluation results through electronic methods. 

6. There will be a need to measure how much the trainees learned and to measure the benefit of the training through the calculation of ROI. 

Welcome to the SLP for the third module of the course. Take a look at your organization and the way it plans its logistics operations. Then, summarize in a 3- to 4-page paper a discussion on the following questions.

Does your organization maximize its logistics efficiency through facility location planning? If so, in what ways, using examples? If not, could facility planning improve matters?

SLP Assignment Expectations

Research the organization with the information you can find on the internet or other resources you find on your own. The paper should be 3–4 pages in length and have a cover sheet and a reference page. Clarity of presentation is important, as well as your ability to apply the topics to the logistics area of your selected firm. Use at least 3 different sources of information and annotate your sources of information appropriately on your references page and within the text as necessary. You will be assessed on how well you demonstrate your knowledge of the topic as it applies to your selected firm. Submit your assignment for grading by the end of this module.

Instructions: Work through each step of this log, answering each question as the directions indicate. Each step, except Step 1, will receive a grade, and the sum of these grades will constitute your total grade for Research Log Part 1. Refer to the section on how each step of the log will be graded for detailed grading information.

Most fields require text entry. If a required field is left blank, your work will not be submitted. If you would like to leave a field blank, simply type N/A.

Review your work before submitting it to your instructor for grading; you will be unable to edit it further after submitting it.

Note: Be sure to review the examples and hints provided with each step! Your answers should be similar to the examples.

Step 1: Select Your Research Question

Select a Research Question…. 1. What alternative therapies are available for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder? 2. How does automation impact the jobs outlook in the United States? 3. What is the impact of online gaming on the social development of teenagers? 4. How can mindfulness help children with disabilities? 

How will Step 1 be graded? Step 1 will not receive a grade.

Step 2: Select Your Search Terms

A. Identifying Key Concepts

List the three key concepts (words, phrases, or both) that best describe the main concepts of your selected research question from Step 1.

Key Concept 1Key Concept 2Key Concept 3

Example: For the research question “How can marketing on the Internet be effective for a small business?” the key concepts are: marketing, Internet, small business

Hint: Refer to week 1 for a review of key concepts. Remember that terms like effective, impact or available are not key concepts.

B. Brainstorming Alternative/Related Terms

Review the key concepts you listed in each of the boxes above (Step 2, Part A) and identify alternative terms/synonyms or related terms for each key concept in the appropriate box below.

Key Concept 1
Alternative/Related TermsKey Concept 2
Alternative/Related TermsKey Concept 3
Alternative/Related Terms

Example: For the research question example in Step 2, Part A:

• Key Concept 1: marketing
• Key Concept 1 Alternative/Related Terms: branding, advertising, promotion

Hint: Refer to week 1 for a review of identifying alternative/related terms (keywords) for key concepts.

How will Step 2 be graded?

(2–3 points): Lists at least two of the correct key concepts from the research question and includes at least one relevant alternative/related terms or synonyms as keywords.

(0–1 points): Does not correctly identify the key concepts from the research question or relevant alternative/related terms or synonyms as keywords.

Step 3: Create a Boolean Search Statement

Using all of the key concepts you identified in Step 2, Part A and some of the keywords (alternative/related terms) you identified in Step 2, Part B, create a search statement that effectively uses Boolean operators and advanced searching techniques (nesting, truncation, phrase searching).

Example: (marketing OR branding OR advertis*) AND (Internet OR Web) AND (“small business” OR entrepreneurship)

Hint: Refer to week 1 for a review of Boolean operators, search statements, and advanced searching techniques.

How will Step 3 be graded?

(4–5 points): Search statement effectively uses advanced searching techniques to connect all key concepts with few or no errors.

(2–3 points): Search statement effectively uses basic Boolean operators to connect all key concepts with few or no errors.

(0–1 points): Search statement does not include all key concepts or correctly use Boolean operators.
