Description

Level 1 evaluation—often dismissed, frequently misunderstood. But is it really as useless as some claim?

In this episode of the Kirkpatrick Podcast, Vanessa breaks down why Level 1 reaction surveys aren't just about "happy sheets"—they provide critical insights into learner experience, engagement, and relevance. The problem isn't the metric itself; it's how we use (or ignore) the data.

In this episode, we cover:
✔ Why experience does matter in learning effectiveness
✔ The biggest mistakes in Level 1 surveys—and how to fix them
✔ Why survey data often gets ignored (and how to make it actionable)

🎧 Listen now and start making your Level 1 evaluations work for you!
