==Programs and Events Dashboard Overview==
  
−
;Session Abstract:This session will present the [[Mw:Wikipedia Education Program/Dashboard|Programs and Events Dashboard]] as a program management tool for Wikimedians interested in organizing, running and tracking groups of users in various contexts (education programs, writing contests, edit-a-thons and workshops, etc.).

*'''Amount of time required''': 15 minutes
  
  +
Session Abstract: Each year, volunteers and program leaders of the Wikimedia movement plan and execute a great diversity of program activities. But how do we know that our program activities are likely to achieve the results we hope to see?
  +
  +
'''Specific learning objectives''':
  +
* Participants learn what a program and program evaluation are and why we do different types of evaluation
  +
* Participants learn where to find learning resources and tools for program planning and evaluation
  +
  +
===SMART Targets===
  +
;Session Abstract: SMART is a framework for creating targets (or "measures of success" as it's known in PEG, or "objectives" as it's known in APG) for programmatic work; it's a framework that the Wikimedia Foundation grant teams use to help grantees turn generic objectives / measures of success into focused statements, that specify the action and expected outcomes. This session will focus on clarifying terminology (such as What is an "output" vs. "outcome") and reviewing the SMART framework used by the Wikimedia Foundation grant teams.
  +
  +
'''Specific learning objective''':
  +
* Participants understand SMART terminology and how to create SMART targets
  +
  +
===Logic Models===
  +
;Session Abstract: Logic Models are a very valuable tool for the planning of our program activities and for developing appropriate evaluation strategies. Based on the distinction between the ‘outputs’ and the ‘outcomes’ of our work, they can be used to carefully think through the links between what we are doing and what we want to change by this. In this rotation session we will shortly recap the concepts of outputs, outcomes and impact, practice to set up a simple logic model and discuss how this tool can be used and trained at the participant's’ home affiliations.
  +
  +
'''Specific learning objectives''':
  +
* Participants learn of basic logic model terms like outputs, outcomes, impact.
  +
* Participants get first ideas how to train and use logic models in their planning and evaluation work
  +
  +
** Outcome Mapping
  +
;Session Abstract: Outcome Mapping is an evaluation approach developed in 2001 for evaluation which places people as the center and looks at changes in behavior to define outcomes. Outcomes are defined as “changes in behavior, relationships, activities, or actions of the individuals, groups, and organizations with whom a program works directly” as well as indirectly with “those potential partners with whom the program anticipates opportunities for influence.” (Earl, Carden, & Smutylo, 2001, p.1)
  +
  +
In the Wikimedia world of programs, outcome mapping strategies can help us to gather data on the contributions that our programs make in terms of bringing about changes in our partners around the world that help to build toward greater engagement in open and free knowledge. Further, outcome mapping can also help us to evaluate both the intended as well as unintended results of our innovative Wikimedia programs. In this way, outcome mapping can help to get beyond the more direct program outcomes to deeper environmental outcomes to measure a program’s contribution to complex change processes.
  +
  +
* Because it allows for qualitative outcomes and stories of our projects and programs and helps to better surface our shared impact.
  +
* Because it provides useful framework for getting beyond - to measure those intermediate and longer-term qualitative outcomes that influence higher-level systems change in the socio-political environment.
  +
* Because our projects seek deeper changes and impact on the world than may be directly linked to our own direct project environments.
  +
  +
'''Specific learning objectives''':
  +
* Participants will learn of two core outcome mapping strategies to help identify the social influences related to their programs.
  +
* Participants will learn of next steps for learning more about outcome mapping in their evaluation work.

Program Design & Evaluation Resources

What is Program Evaluation

Session Abstract: Each year, volunteers and program leaders of the Wikimedia movement plan and execute a great diversity of program activities. But how do we know that our program activities are likely to achieve the results we hope to see?

Specific learning objectives:

  • Participants learn what a program and program evaluation are and why we do different types of evaluation
  • Participants learn where to find learning resources and tools for program planning and evaluation

SMART Targets

Session Abstract
SMART is a framework for creating targets (or "measures of success" as it's known in PEG, or "objectives" as it's known in APG) for programmatic work; it's a framework that the Wikimedia Foundation grant teams use to help grantees turn generic objectives / measures of success into focused statements, that specify the action and expected outcomes. This session will focus on clarifying terminology (such as What is an "output" vs. "outcome") and reviewing the SMART framework used by the Wikimedia Foundation grant teams.

Specific learning objective:

  • Participants understand SMART terminology and how to create SMART targets

Logic Models

Session Abstract
Logic Models are a very valuable tool for the planning of our program activities and for developing appropriate evaluation strategies. Based on the distinction between the ‘outputs’ and the ‘outcomes’ of our work, they can be used to carefully think through the links between what we are doing and what we want to change by this. In this rotation session we will shortly recap the concepts of outputs, outcomes and impact, practice to set up a simple logic model and discuss how this tool can be used and trained at the participant's’ home affiliations.

Specific learning objectives:

  • Participants learn of basic logic model terms like outputs, outcomes, impact.
  • Participants get first ideas how to train and use logic models in their planning and evaluation work
    • Outcome Mapping
Session Abstract
Outcome Mapping is an evaluation approach developed in 2001 for evaluation which places people as the center and looks at changes in behavior to define outcomes. Outcomes are defined as “changes in behavior, relationships, activities, or actions of the individuals, groups, and organizations with whom a program works directly” as well as indirectly with “those potential partners with whom the program anticipates opportunities for influence.” (Earl, Carden, & Smutylo, 2001, p.1)

In the Wikimedia world of programs, outcome mapping strategies can help us to gather data on the contributions that our programs make in terms of bringing about changes in our partners around the world that help to build toward greater engagement in open and free knowledge. Further, outcome mapping can also help us to evaluate both the intended as well as unintended results of our innovative Wikimedia programs. In this way, outcome mapping can help to get beyond the more direct program outcomes to deeper environmental outcomes to measure a program’s contribution to complex change processes.

  • Because it allows for qualitative outcomes and stories of our projects and programs and helps to better surface our shared impact.
  • Because it provides useful framework for getting beyond - to measure those intermediate and longer-term qualitative outcomes that influence higher-level systems change in the socio-political environment.
  • Because our projects seek deeper changes and impact on the world than may be directly linked to our own direct project environments.

Specific learning objectives:

  • Participants will learn of two core outcome mapping strategies to help identify the social influences related to their programs.
  • Participants will learn of next steps for learning more about outcome mapping in their evaluation work.
