Evaluating Training Outcomes: Some Reflections on an Online and in Presence Modality

Abstract

The paper offers a discussion about the concept of training from a psychological point of view. In a life-long learning perspective adults’ training is developing relevant. Innovative technologies and methodologies demonstrate to be very needful to answer to new learning requests, and this is also because requests mainly come from workers. Even Universities are restyling their paths, organizing online courses in addition to traditional classes. But is it possible to do e-training? And, if possible, in which way the assessment has to be conducted? A study case is provided to deal with these questions. Key words: learning design, life-long learning, assessment, self assessment.
