used? • How can the engagement and motivation of the
participants be increased? • How can the effectiveness of the learning process be
improved?
The project
• For managers of small and medium-sized companies
• 10 courses comprising a total of 23 lessons. • 20-24 lesson hours (1 lesson = 45 mins).• Participants: – 140 managers blended learning– 140 only e-learning

Methodology for evaluation study
Deep interview with participants
3 months after finishing learning Self evaluation about changes in competences and behavior
Posttest of Attitude
Development Centre Posttest of behavior changes Final posttest of knowledge
Blended learning - 14 days training- 24 hours e-learningKnowledge pretests before every course Evaluation of satisfaction

Reaction - Evaluation e-learning group – focus groups:
• High quality, both in terms of graphics and content,
• High level knowledge,• Highly rated examples, exercises and tests• Feedback on learning
progress.• Ability to print
out materials
• Topics not always suits needs of the participants,
• Examples are not adapted to the industry in which participants work
• Problems saving files• Difficulties finding lessons
in the platform
Reaction - Factors influencing intrinsic motivation

Summary about learning
• In both groups was an increase in knowledge and change in attitudes and participants in both groups declared an increase in skill level.
• The e-learning group more highly evaluation and implementation od e-learning
• Participants liked e-learning as a method of soft-skills• e-learning group alone achieved significant results - very
similar in comparison to the group of participants who were supported with additional classroom training
Summary about evaluation
• Reaction questionnaire, knowledge and attitude tests - good and inexpensive evaluation tools.
• Coordinate the evaluation process and take care of:– consistency of methods and tools– save time and engagement of the participants– Centralize contacts in relation to people and IT tools
• A process map should be available for the participants all the time
