Evaluation
The aims of evaluation are often described as twofold: firstly, evaluation can prove the impact of an activity; secondly it can improve the activity itself. For Walking with Robots, evaluation will be used to do both of these.
The Walking with Robots network has funded an independent evaluation consultant, Laura Grant of the University of Liverpool, to help out with all your evaluation needs. Her role will be to support network members in evaluating events you organise (note: she won't be able to carry out all of your evaluations for you!). Laura can be contacted on: L.Grant@liverpool.ac.uk
The following is an Evaluation Toolkit that will provide some basic materials (such as example questionnaires) and guidelines on evaluating Walking with Robots events and activities. This will be continually developed in consultation with the network, so you'll have a say in any changes.
