Greetings Program Leaders and Evaluators!
Important updates on Learning and Evaluation:
== Evaluation Pulse survey ==
If you haven’t done so, please remember to fill out the evaluation survey
that was delivered last week. If you haven’t seen it in your inbox, or your
link has expired, email us at eval(a)wikimedia.org and we’ll resend it to
you.
== Learning & Evaluation Newsletter starting July 30 ==
At the Learning & Evaluation team (L&E) we work to understand what
activities within the movement work and to replicate initiatives that are
appropriate for each context. To this goal, every month we host virtual or
face-to-face events, to share new resources to evaluate programs, do
research and more.
With the newsletter, that will be issued quarterly, we aim to capture the
highlights of the L&E team and share those with the community, in an outlet
that brings stories to users' inboxes, and to encourage participation. You
can sign up to get the newsletter delivered to your user page by including
your name on this list:

== Beyond Wikimetrics series started ==
If you missed the first edition of Beyond Wikimetrics, don’t panic! You can
watch the video online [1] and revisit the presentation [2]. This was the
opening virtual meet-up of a series of 3 online events that will go deeper
into this same topic. Stay tuned for upcoming events on our portal [3]!
== Join the L&E team at Wikimania 2014! [4] ==
If you are attending the global conference in London, join us for a number
of workshops and activities. Watch our news page to find out more about
Learning & Evaluation workshops and presentations in the movement’s largest
convention.
As always, stay up-to-date by connecting on our portal [5].
On behalf of the Program Evaluation and Design team, thank you for your
time and attention.
