How to Conduct Low-Cost, High-Quality Evaluations using Technology-Enhanced Survey Methods
 

The story is the same across many organisations: ‘We would like to know more, but we just don’t have the time/resources/expertise to do high quality evaluation’. New developments in technology for survey-based evaluation have made it possible to bridge this longstanding divide between aspiration and practice. This workshop shows how new technologies can enable your organization to collect, analyse and report results in real-time for far less cost in time and resources than a traditional approach to evaluation.
