Chris
Dove and Linda Phipps report on a method of evaluation community
networking projects again seven 'soft' criteria:
- Creativity
- Connectivity/connectedness
- Confidence
- Competencies
- Capacity
building — self-reliance and ‘ownership’
- Choice
- Content
Following
the Community Information Networks ’99 conference in
Sheffield, UK, a piece of ‘desk’ research has been
carried out by Chris Dove, formerly of Brixton Online and
Linda Phipps of St William’s Foundation.
This
is based on evaluating 7 pilot projects against a new set
of criteria, which we have called the 7 ‘C’s. The
aim is to develop a new model of evaluation, by creating a
new framework of evaluation for demonstration projects.
In
particular, we want to stimulate ideas on ‘soft’/qualitative
measures and outcomes, such as the percentage of participants
feeling more confident or interested in participation.
Please
contribute your comments and ideas by reading the attached
report of the desk research and posting any comment to the
CONET mailing list. To join conet
