APPLYING A GENERATIONAL-ORIENTED AND FLEXIBLE ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION FRAMEWORK TO DELIVER HIGHLY PERSONALIZED AND EFFICIENT LEARNING ACTIVITIES Authors: Eldridge Bryan, Stevens Cameron Volume 2 | DOI: 10.12753/2066-026X-17-164 | Pages: 556-563 | Download PDF | Abstract
For the first time in workplace history, there are five generations are in the workplace simultaneously: the Traditionalists (born between 1925 and 1945), the Baby Boomers (born between 1946 and 1964), Generation X (born between 1965 and 1980), Generation Y (born between 1981 and 1994), and the Millennials (born after 1995). Accommodating the unique learning and development needs of such a diverse spectrum of learners in the organizational enterprise have provided significant procedural and cultural roadblocks for facilitating efficient learning content delivery and personalization. A potential strategy in assessing this complex challenge is implementing a set of flexible assessment options that allow individuals to choose evaluation options and evidence types that best suit their individuality within a framework that is focused on supporting accepted common generational traits. For example, Baby Boomers have excellent team work skills and thrive on adrenaline-charged assignments while Millennials are more technologically dependent and are often more worried about the perception of success rather than actual achievement. Such an approach provides learning and development professionals a repeatable and highly customizable strategy for meeting the broad spectrum of requirements and support for a highly heterogeneous audience. This paper will examine how such a framework can be utilized to add efficiency and personalization to online learning delivery while still providing the flexibility for individuality without restrictions due to generational positioning. This type of approach allows for a generalized strategy of personalization that has been long on promise but short on delivery, particularly in the areas of learning and development. | Keywords
