Need to create a post-course evaluation? Via James Kerr

In this article, NIcole provides valuable suggestions about how to develop a post-course evaluation. However, based on the four-level theory proposed by Donald Kirkpatrick (Reaction-Learning-Behavior-Results), I think Nicole mainly focuses on the first two requirements without much consideration in terms of "change in behavior" and "final results" after finishing this course/program.
Actually I believe “Reaction” and “Learning” can be relatively much easier to be accomplished by teaching necessary knowledge and skills and establishing a positive atmosphere of learning community. In this contexts of e-learning course, it refers to students’ satisfaction about course content or format, and specific knowledge/skills acquired. However, for “Behavior” and “Results”, they are much more significant and insightful, but also difficult to be measured, especially to those topics related to communication, diversity, empowerment, and leadership and so on. More follow-up surveys or interviews may be one option to measure students’ change in attitude, behavior and action.
Welcome more comments about how to measure those “impossibly measured” results!

The big question is certainly how to measure the change of behavior.

Yes, I agree that there can be trouble in how to measure the change in behavior. But this may bring up the idea that perhaps there should be some sort of pre-course evaluation and post-course evaluation to ascertain if there was any change in behavior over the course of the class taken. Sometimes we think of evaluation only coming after the fact, but there could be value in it coming not only after, but before as well.
