Session 25 Workshop: Driving Student Success Through Equity: Applying the LJMU Evaluation Framework

Abstract

Session overview:

Robust evaluation is a powerful tool to support effective project or intervention design, inform decision-making and demonstrate impact. This is particularly important for the recently approved Access and Participation Plan initiatives that aim to improve student equity at LJMU.

LJMU Evaluation Framework was developed to support colleagues to evaluate the impact of their work with students, to build evaluation capacity, and create an avenue for sharing good practice.

Key learning points from this session:

This interactive workshop will equip participants with the skills to apply the LJMU Evaluation Framework to evaluation of their own projects or interventions. Using a real-life scenario supported by a completed Theory of Change, participants will explore different types of evaluation and research methodologies to measure the impact. They will find what resources are available at different stages of the process, and how to utilise the help available through the Teaching and Learning Academy.
