Even better - bag the Kirkpatrick and think more completely about what information would be most meaningful and helpful for you to get from learners immediately following a learning event.

It is better to tailor your questions to the specific audience and training that you are working with. If it's just guidance you need though, I have five different types of happy sheet available on my website for free download.

Is there ANY other profession that contains SO many people so willing to just hand over their work for free?

FF - I'm sure not aware of any. I'm still trying to figure out the rationality behind the hiring decisions.

FF - I am also a "computer guy", at least part of the time now and by education. I have found programmers to share way more information than training and development folks. The PerlMonks and JavaJunkies sites, for example are about sharing programming techniques and answering questions. They are very busy. There is lots of good open source software.

By contrast, there is some open courseware, but it is not nearly the quality and "completeness" of open source software. I know of no good collection of even hundreds of courses with full facilitator and participant guides. (There are a few sources, but they are not large or complete.)

But I do agree with KaliKo that there seem to be a lot of inexperienced newbies in responsible positions in training, but I find that in every industry I've become familiar with in the last few years that the Peter Principle seems to be the mantra of MBAs today.
