From the course: The Future of Workforce Learning: AI-Powered Personalization for Skill Development

Analyze learning outcomes

Do you ever wonder if your learning experiences really connect with each learner? In today's digital world, the key to measuring success is by using learning analytics. Let me walk you through some ways to leverage learning analytics to measure the return of investment in AI powered personalization in learning programs. Before you dive into AI-powered personalization, make sure you know where you're starting from by setting up baseline metrics. These could be things like how many learners finish courses, how well they do on tasks, how much time they spent learning and how they're doing in their jobs. By defining these metrics, you can start to track improvements in learning experiences with AI-powered personalization. And don't forget to capture your training course from the get go. This includes everything from creating content to facilitation, as well as the time spent managing administrative tasks like keeping up with compliance requirements. Next, start tracking engagement and learner performance. Keep an eye on how engaged learners are like, How many are actively using learning materials? How are they using them? And if they're dropping out of more personalized versus not personalized paths. Also, look at assessment results and skill levels to see how personalized learning is helping people remember what they've learned and develop their skills. Fortunately, most of this data can be found and tracked in existing learning management systems or other integrated tools. A simple approach I recommend exporting your learning data into an AI tool like ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot to summarize trends and assess your progress. Just ensure your organization approves using these tools first before you dive in. After that, connect your learning data with key organizational metrics like productivity or client satisfaction scores to measure the impact of improved skills on the organization. And lastly, don't forget to capture any cost savings data. For example, you could be measuring the time and money saved by automating tasks like organizing and delivering content and handling administrative tasks using AI. I encourage you to dive into your learning analytics. Start small, perhaps with a particular program, and let the data refine and amplify your AI personalization efforts. Remember the true strength of AI lies not just in the tech itself, but in how its data continuously improves learning and organizational skills.
