Measuring for Inclusion

Will Thalheimer and Ingeborg KroeseLondon (UK), March 2025 - Including everyone in training programmes - using Learner Survey Questions to ensure inclusive learning: Will Thalheimer, President, Work-Learning Research and Ingeborg Kroese, Academic Researcher & Director, Enhance Facilitation, are presenting at Learning Technologies 2025 this April in London.

This session explores how to use Learner Survey Questions to enable participants to offer feedback that informs more inclusive programme design and delivery. Learn how to ensure your learning programs work successfully for all your learners. Attendees will be introduced to a set of Learner Survey Questions and practical tips to measure the inclusiveness of your learning programs, and the years of academic research and pilot studies they are based on.

Many organisations recognise the importance of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA). However, too often in L&D, DEIA considerations are sidelined and only part of focused learning initiatives instead of integrating DEIA values into all L&D programs. This session examines why inclusive L&D is important and how to drive meaningful inclusion, by enabling participants to offer feedback that informs more equitable programme design and delivery.

Learning Technologies Conference Chair, Donald H Taylor, said: "Drawing on extensive academic research and several pilot studies, attendees will be introduced to a set of Learner Survey Questions and practical recommendations that you can use to make your learning initiatives more inclusive and successful for all your learners."

Will Thalheimer and Ingeborg Kroese's session on Measuring for inclusion takes place on day two, 24 April at 13:55.
