Online & Face-to-Face Event: Crafting questions that make learning stick

Unlock the true potential of your learning assessments by mastering questioning techniques. This is a dynamic talk for learning professionals, to help you move beyond mere knowledge recall to design questions that genuinely measure applied learning and behavioural change. Discover what makes an effective question, learn to craft inquiries that demonstrate the ability to apply concepts in relevant, real-world situations, and encourage critical thinking. We’ll look at ways to ensure your questions are clear, concise, and unambiguous, provide opportunities for further learning through insightful feedback. It includes practical activities dedicated to exploring various question types, giving you practice in navigating the pros, cons, and avoiding the common pitfalls of writing questions that are part of the learning experience, not just an afterthought.

Competency Framework: Learning Design, Adult Learning

Speaker: Cathy Gillespie

Cathy has come from a scientific background, through teaching, and is now firmly embedded in helping others to apply quality learning design to learning content. In building the business, Cathy has taken Like-Minded through the B Corp Certification process to become the first organisation in New Zealand of its kind to achieve certification. It shows that they run the business ethically and sustainably, while balancing purpose with profit. With at least 25 years’ experience in the learning and development space, she has seen many changes in how organisations develop and manage their learning. Now that face-to-face opportunities are reduced, thanks to the pandemic, she is helping organisations alter the balance of outsourcing with growing internal capability, helps them avoid known pitfalls, and trains learning leaders and their staff to rise to the new challenges. She’s excited to share her thinking on what it takes to create a cohesive and purpose driven team, where the quality of the output is the key focus.
