Assessment
Reveal your learning experience’s engagement, performance, and potential.
We’ve distilled our best practices across 350+ learning experiences into 5 ingredients we call High Engagement at Scale®. In the right combination, these ingredients unlock your learning program’s potential for impact and scale.
The right mix for impactful learning
All world-class learning experiences have a unique mix of five key ingredients. Map your learning experience’s performance in these core areas to uncover areas of strength and opportunities for improvement.
The Five Ingredients:
1. Real-World Outcomes: Real-world situations, challenges, opportunities, and outcomes
2. Learner-Centered Content: Focused on the needs, desires, and abilities of the learner
3. Active Learning: Motivates engagement through a variety of active, applied, and integrative tools
4. Unbounded Inclusion: Accessible learning spaces where everyone feels welcomed and can see themselves in materials
5. Community Connections: Leverage people beyond the instructor to motivate and scale learning
Define and align your strategic roadmap
