How can we know that our efforts are meeting that need or that our good ideas are paying off and merit further support? How can we know where to tweak programs for increased effectiveness?

This session will discuss the different types of evaluation and will feature, as a case study, an initiative to enhance student learning through providing faculty with laptop computers and associated training. | | View this resource: | |
