Presentation Type
30-Minute Presentations
Presentation Abstract (250 word max.)
This presentation proposal aims to delve into the crucial aspects of program evaluation and highlight the invaluable lessons garnered through this in depth process. Program evaluation serves as a pivotal tool for organizations to assess the effectiveness, efficiency, and impact of their programs on adult learners. Through this presentation, we intend to share key insights derived from our program evaluation experience, shedding light on the nuances related to positively impacting the adult learner learning environment, academic success, challenges, and transformative outcomes encountered along the way.
Participants will engage in discussion and experiential activities that will inform their professional practice. Understanding that many departments are working with very lean human capital and financial budgets, the importance of program evaluation and implementation is possible, if not imperative for institutional programs to remain relevant, innovative and enhance the student learning environment. Participants will leave with best practices, lessons learned and tips and tricks to develop and facilitate their own program evaluation.
