Introduction
Many public health programs do tremendous work, yet do not
have their accomplishments fully recognized by the public,
by other health professionals, or even by the people who benefit
from the programs.
Why?
Because programs lack data to demonstrate their success.
So what can you do about it?
Evaluate! Create an opportunity to show funders, local leaders,
supporters, the public, and staff your program’s accomplishments.
Evaluation results can not only make the case for funding,
but can also keep a program on course to meet its goals efficiently
and effectively.
TTAC can help.
TTAC presents its Fundamentals of Evaluation Web-based
Course - an interactive, distance-learning program designed
to cover the core concepts of evaluation. The information
provided will help you understand the importance of evaluating
a program, what to expect from your evaluation efforts, and
what is involved in program evaluation from planning to reporting
results. As you progress through the course, you will have
access to valuable resources and evaluation experts who will
provide feedback during the learning process.
Who should take this course?
YOU! The workshop is designed for public health workers with
a desire or need to gain a better understanding of evaluation
and evaluation planning. Whether you will be completing an
evaluation, planning one, assisting with an evaluation, or
choosing an evaluator, it is valuable to understand the Fundamentals
of Evaluation.
When?
Fundamentals of Evaluation starts September 2, 2008.
The course continues for 12 weeks and concludes November 21, 2008. The course contains 7 modules; each module is covered
in two weeks and requires a commitment of between 3 and 5
hours for learning activities.
A web-based course?
This web-based program is an interactive experience involving
lessons with visual aids, group discussion, self-assessments,
and individual learning activities designed to apply the concepts
covered in each module. Because web-based learning may be
a new method of learning for the user, the first module focuses
on navigating the online learning environment.
Register now and begin your journey to understanding and applying the Fundamentals of Evaluation.
“The tutorials are user-friendly, straightforward,
provide step-by-step and self-explanatory instructions,
and excellent examples and exercises. The online
instructor was easily accessible and provided prompt
feedback and follow-up. Overall, a great learning
tool and experience for individuals new to program
evaluation as well as for anyone wishing to refresh
evaluation principles, skills, and knowledge.”
