Read the first 7 Technology & Digital Tools flashcards as text

  1. A CPT practitioner implements a chatbot on a company intranet to answer common HR policy questions. This intervention BEST addresses which performance barrier?

    Answer: Lack of timely access to information needed to perform correctly

    A policy chatbot removes an information access barrier by providing instant, accurate answers, directly addressing one of Gilbert's behavioral engineering model factors.

  2. When a digital tool vendor claims its platform improves performance, what should a CPT practitioner insist on reviewing FIRST?

    Answer: Empirical outcome data and case studies with measurable performance results

    CPT practice is evidence-based; outcome data showing measurable performance improvements is the only credible basis for evaluating vendor claims.

  3. A performance technologist uses rapid prototyping in an authoring tool to show stakeholders a draft interaction before full development. This PRIMARILY helps by:

    Answer: Gathering early feedback to ensure the tool design aligns with actual performance requirements

    Rapid prototyping accelerates stakeholder feedback loops, reducing the risk of developing a fully built solution that misses the target performance outcome.

  4. Which data security practice is MOST critical when deploying a cloud-based LMS that stores employee performance records for a US organization?

    Answer: Ensuring the platform complies with data privacy regulations and employs encryption at rest and in transit

    Compliance with privacy regulations and encryption protects sensitive employee performance data from breaches, a legal and ethical obligation for US organizations.

  5. A CPT practitioner selects a performance support tool that integrates with the company's ERP system via API. What is the PRIMARY advantage of API integration?

    Answer: Enables real-time data exchange between systems without manual re-entry, reducing errors and delay

    API integration automates data flow between systems, ensuring performance data is current and accurate without duplicative manual effort.

  6. A gamified performance platform awards badges and leaderboard rankings to sales reps who complete training modules. Which CPT concern should the practitioner monitor MOST closely?

    Answer: Whether gamification is driving completion behavior without producing actual on-the-job performance improvement

    Gamification can inflate completion metrics while leaving performance gaps unaddressed if the design does not connect game mechanics to real behavior change outcomes.

  7. A CPT practitioner is building a business case for replacing a legacy LMS. Which technology-related argument is MOST persuasive to senior leadership?

    Answer: The current system cannot produce the performance outcome data needed to demonstrate ROI of training investments

    Inability to demonstrate training ROI through data directly undermines the business value of the L&D function, making it the most compelling executive-level argument for replacement.
