An evaluation of e-learning in industry at Level Three based upon the Kirkpatrick model by Yaw, Dorothy Carole, Ph.D., Indiana State University, 2005 , 136 pages; AAT 3199443 My Interest: 1) E-Learning. 2) Effectiveness. 3) Kirkpatrick evaluation model. 4) Phillips evaluation model. 5) E-Learning vs Classroom Learning. 6) ANOVA. 7) t-test. Action: To read the Dissertation in future. Research Goal In this study, the researcher examined the effectiveness of e-learning in the industrial setting at Level 3 based upon the Kirkpatrick model and compared e-learning to traditional classroom learning. Methodology An experimental research study was conducted at a Midwestern manufacturing facility with the researcher designing, developing, and evaluating an OSHA safety training program. The Human Resource/Safety Manager facilitated the training for all employees with one-half taking the training as e-learners and one-half taking the training as classroom learners. After the training was completed, the evaluations were analyzed by the researcher using the Windows ® version 13 of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences ( SPSS). Statistical analysis of the data collected consisted of an analysis of variance (ANOVA) and an Independent Sample t-test. The results were reported in chart and graphical form. Level 3 evaluation was conducted one month post-training using a Supervisor focus group. Results Discussion The statistical analysis of the data indicated that e-learners were transferring the training 79.63% of the time while classroom learners were transferring the training 80.46% of the time. The statistical analysis further indicated that there was no significant difference in transfer of training at Level 3 between e-learners and classroom learners. 2.
