Evaluating
Much of the six-step approach to programme evaluation developed by HIS is transferrable to learning system evaluation:
Step 1: Planning
How to decide the type and timing of evaluation, who to involve and what will be required
Step 2: Framing
How to clarify what is being evaluated about a programme (using theory of change) and how the evaluation should be structured
Step 3: Focusing
How priority questions are set that the evaluation will be designed to answer
Step 4: Designing
How the methods of collecting and analysing information are developed
Step 5: Collecting and analysing
How information is collected and interpreted
Step 6: Synthesising and reporting
How the evaluation questions are answered and the findings shared
