Will Thalheimer, PhD, cares about improving the products that learning professionals create. He has spent years exploring the best ways to conduct course evaluations and has compiled his findings in an excellent book, Performance-focused Smile Sheets: A Radical Rethinking of a Dangerous Art Form.
Will has worked in the learning-and-performance field for 30 years—as a trainer, instructional designer, simulation architect, project manager, business product line manager, speaker, writer, researcher, and consultant. Forming Work-Learning Research in 1998 to build bridges between research and practical wisdom, Will works to provide the workplace learning-and-performance field with research-based information, simultaneously helping clients create and deploy radically more effective learning interventions.
