Seeking Evidence of Impact in Action: Evaluating the Learning Commons

Thursday, November 08, 2012 | 5:30PM–6:20PM | Meeting Room 501/502
Session Type: E12
Which research and evaluation methodologies work for evaluating a learning space like the learning commons? This session will offer a pragmatic exploration of evaluation methods that can be used to assess the impact of a learning commons. We will begin with a quick review of the more common evaluation techniques and methods, after which participants at each table will apply one of the techniques to a hypothetical learning commons. Community experts in research and evaluation will be on hand to assist the work at each table.
