Evaluation Presentation

I have had a very frustrating Sunday afternoon trying to get my presentation onto MyPlick. Firstly, I had a lot of trouble getting the audio recorded - not all of the free downloads seemed to work. I then had several attempts to record the audio as I kept losing it somehow. I then had a problem uploading to MyPlick but eventually got that sorted (and Gordon made it sound so simple)! Unlike Yvonne, I couldn't find a way to edit out all the errs and urms, so they are still there I'm afraid. Also, for some reason the quality of the recording is extremely poor and I think this can only be attributable to the equipment I am using. My voice is very muffled in places and tends to go up and down, so sounds worse than normal. No amount of adjustment seemed to correct it. Apologies for this and will put it down to experience and hope to do better 'next time'. I haven't been put off though - I think it was a good challenge for me.

The link is below and once more apologies for the quality.

Evaluation Plan

After some guidance from Bronwyn (thanks again for that) I have now re-written my original evaluation plan draft towards an effectiveness evaluation instead of an impact evaluation. This type of evaluation matches more closely what I wish to measure against which is; whether or not students first time experience with online learning via a particular Unit Standard equips them with sufficient knowledge, skills and confidence to consider higher level learning using this method.

I hope to post my summary soon. All comments appreciated.

Thanks

Here is the plan

Evaluation Plan Update

Hi Guys

I realise that I have been a bit quiet recently but I have been trying to get my evaluation plan on a proper track. Unlike Rika I haven't hit any technical hitches (not recently anyway). Basically what I thought was an impact evaluation is more an effectiveness evaluation and as such, I am wishing to tie the loose ends up so that my (almost) final plan will reflect what I am doing. Hope that makes sense and I look forward to sharing my plan with you soon. Thank you for all your help so far.
