Dear all,
After spending more than 20 years conducting impact evaluations and audience research studies across a wide diversity of settings, contexts and types of participants, I’ve witnessed -too many times- how poorly designed evaluations can waste people’s time and introduce misinformation into organizations.
That is why I decided to create a new training course on Evaluation Design that will help you build a strong foundation for your evaluation. It will enable you to deliver useful insights that enable evidence-based decisions. This online course is entirely self-paced so that you can engage with the course or access resources when it is most convenient. You can watch a short video about this course here: https://vimeo.com/579996307
This training course covers the following topics:
- Laying the foundations for effective evaluation
- Getting to know the value of impact evaluation
- Distinguishing between outputs and outcomes
- Understanding the range of evaluation approaches and tools available to you
- How to develop your evaluation plan
- How to be an ethical evaluator
- Data consent and how it should be handled
- How to organize data for qualitative and quantitative analyses
By the end of this course, you will:
- Understand key concepts for evaluation, including ‘impact’.
- Be ready to articulate your 'theory of change'.
- Be capable of translating your evaluation goals into clear, measurable outcomes that can be assessed.
- Be able to develop an evaluation plan based on available time and resources, as well as your evaluation goals.
- Make an informed decision about which type of evaluation approach and tool is most likely to be appropriate for evaluating your intended outcomes.
- Be able to apply basic ethical principles to your evaluation.
- Be able to effectively organize and store evaluation data.
- Make sure you are in line with GDPR rules.
