Support implementation of Kirkpatrick’s 4 levels of evaluation (reaction, learning, behavior, results) by ensuring LMS/LCMS data structures and content configuration support formative, summative, and operational evaluation. Help define how evaluation data and usage metrics are stored, tagged, and accessed for continuous improvement of the training system. Content Packaging and Deployment Upload, register, and maintain learning objects within the LMS/LCMS, including catalog metadata, course structures, and version history.
