Educational Impact and Evaluation

Standing Committee Home


What's New

As a good intro to the EIESC and this site, read the following documents:
  • Guide to EIESC Documents. Chronologically lists all documents and URLS of info found on this site.
  • Summary of EIESC Activities, 2001-2005. Follows the evolution and results of EIESC activities from pilot studies to implementation across NSDL and identifies initiatives that have become instantiated at the organizational level of NSDL.
Check the 2005 activities for links to the Evaluation Resources handout prepared by Jim Dorward to accompany his presentation (Building Evaluation Capacity) at the 2005 Annual Meeting.

Mick Khoo (Evaluation Coordinator for NSDL Core Integration) has developed an evaluation wiki that has links to evaluation resources and plans for evaluating NSDL

See also the Summary of NSDL Workshops held between 2002 and 2004.
