Evaluation+and+Research

// Spring 2008 EME 6635 //
 * Internet Safety Research Project **

//__ Scope __// This assignment was the culminating project for my inquiry and measurements course. This is the final succinct report for a semester long research project conducted on internet safety. This document was based on a literature review, face to face interviews, a survey we created, and usability tests. It also includes a section on limitations and constraints.

//__ My Role __// This was a group project. Since the parents and students at my school were the subjects of our research, I was the main contact person with our subjects for this research project. Thus I conducted the interviews, administered the survey and analyzed the data. We all contributed to the literature review and usability test equally, as well as constructing the final write up.



 ** The Evaluation Proposal for the Greening of Blue Bay High School ** // Summer 2010 EDF 5461 //

//__ Scope __// The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate what I have learned about evaluation strategies and design options in a proposal for the evaluation of the Greening Program at Blue Bay High School. Since we were working with time constraints this was not an actual proposal but a simulated one. However, the general facts of the program are true and the data to be collected are reasonable to collect from the organization, my current job site. Once again names were changed for anonymity.

//__My Role__// This was an individual project so all of the responsibilities rested solely on my shoulders. I conducted the interviews, asked questions about the necessary data that could be available and wrote up the final proposal.

   ** Usability Test ** // Spring 2008 EME 6635 //

//__ Scope __// These two assignments are related to the usability test associated with our research project. First are the protocols for the usability test. Then the PowerPoint presentation reported the findings of the Usability test my research group created. Our project was on internet safety and this test was based on the usability of the Netsmartz.com web-site for parents.

//__ My Role __// My team worked on this together. We each performed the test with an individual and then compiled the data into a PowerPoint presentation. This was the beginning of my program so I was a novice with PowerPoint so although I provided an equal amount of information for the PowerPoint afellow group member made it look professional.



 ** One-to-One Formative Evaluation ** // Fall 2010 EME 5603 //

//__ Scope __// This one-to-one formative evaluation was conducted after rapid prototyping of my photograph learning module. The purpose of the one-to-one administration of the learning module was to catch mistakes within the learning module as well as receive input for possible enhancements for the module and possible misunderstandings that may occur within the module, so that they could be corrected before administering the learning module to the test audience.

//__ My Role __// I performed the evaluation on my own. I used friends and family members that fell into the target audience. 

 ** Small Group Formative Evaluation ** // Fall 2010 EME 5603 //

//__ Scope __// The purpose of the small group administration of the learning module was to test the effectiveness of the correction made after the one-on-one evaluation, to catch additional mistakes within the learning module as well as receive additional input for new enhancements for the module and other possible misunderstandings that may occur within the module, so that they may be corrected before launching the learning module. //__ My Role __// I performed the evaluation on my own. My subjects were friends and family members that fell into the target audience.
