$10.00 for Guest

Description: Join us for Signals, Not Surveys: Reading Behavioral Data in Learning Ecosystems. Learners are always giving us data, even when they are not filling out a survey. The way they participate, ask questions, go silent, drop off, resist, follow through, or revert to old habits can reveal what is really happening beneath the surface.

In this Behavioral Science SIG session, we will explore how to identify and interpret behavioral signals inside learning ecosystems. Participants will learn how to read patterns in engagement, communication, participation, and follow-through to better understand where learners are gaining traction, where they are confused, and where the environment may be pulling them back to old behaviors.

This session will help trainers, facilitators, coaches, and instructional designers move beyond “Did they like it?” and start asking, “What is their behavior telling us?”

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

  • Identify key behavioral signals in learning environments.
  • Interpret learner behavior without jumping to unsupported conclusions.
  • Spot signs of confusion, disengagement, resistance, momentum, and transfer.
  • Use behavioral signals to adjust learning design, facilitation, and follow-through.

What's a SIG?

Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are small groups of members who share an affinity for a particular aspect of Talent Development. Whether it's a specific approach, a certain skill, or a common role in the industry, a SIG helps bring chapter members together to share in an interest.  

Anyone can start a SIG - all it takes is a shared interest and a meeting place! To learn more, contact the Chapter President, president@detroitatd.org.
