Learning evaluation handbook

Learning Evaluation Handbook

The Learning Evaluation Handbook (the Handbook) was developed by the APS Academy as part of the APS Learning Evaluation Framework (the Framework) and guidance. The Handbook supports the APS Learning and Development Strategy and the Strategy, Policy & Evaluation craft capability from the Australian Public Service Commission and APS Academy respectively.

The Handbook is underpinned by the Commonwealth Evaluation Policy, providing a short, practical introduction to learning evaluation. It also links to the APS Learning Quality Framework, which emphasises the importance of including evaluation in learning design for effective and impactful learning experiences.
