Goal

  • understand what AAR is
  • be able to add observations to player interactions
  • be able to generate an AAR report

Summary

After Action Review (AAR) allows the moderator, observers and designated participants to write notes and attach the notes to content items. AAR allows you to capture information while the exercise is unfolding, so that all those observations are captured in an After Action Review report, for a hotwash or debrief session.


 Name
After Action Review
 Benefit
Qualitative feedback is captured at the time of the event and linked to the content that prompted the feedback. This makes the review process more rigorous and defensible.
 Features
  • Many designated participants can add comments
  • Almost all content items can be reviewed
  • The timestamp of a comment can be with reference to specific injects to check speed of response
  • All observations are easily exported to a Word document

Assign permission to add AAR observations

In the Facilitator Dashboard, go to Manage > Manage teams > Special permissions. Then, drag the "Evaluation (AAR)" to the participant or participants that should be able to leave observations. 
This Special Permission will only appear in the list in the appropriate TeamXp licenses (see Summary)

For more on Special Permissions, search for its dedicated Helpdocs.
