 the use of electronic performance support systems (EPSS)
designed to aid workers in procedural tasks

 EPSS is designed to be used at the time of need in the
workplace

16. Evaluating Learning of Principle-Based Tasks

 A range of responses that acceptably incorporate the
guidelines must be identified. Test items should be similar to

those provided during practice sessions. In general, they
should include various job-realistic problems or scenarios

that require the application of the target principles

guidelines

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the near-transfer training?

Near-transfer training involves the teaching of tasks that are
procedural. That is, you can show the employee the exact steps
he should take to achieve the desired outcome

2. How do you identify the guidelines that will make up the basis
for the far-transfer tasks you train?

First, there is rarely one right approach to far-transfer tasks—and
therefore no single expert can demonstrate the guidelines.
