Assessment Scores:

To check the effectiveness of the overall course, you need to look into the overall/final assessment score as well as the ongoing skill assessment or per module assessment scores. This will give you the details about how much the trainee is able to retain the learning achieved from the curriculum. This will further help in assessing and tying up with the practical implementation of the learnings in the operational scenarios.

Learning Behavior:

Based on the assessment scores, you can segregate the group into high-performing and low-performing groups. Further analyzing the patterns and learning trends based on the above-mentioned criteria, you can make the changes in the curriculum to improve the learning experience for different groups.
