Hello everyone!
Program leaders have been inquiring about survey design since the creation
of the Program Evaluation and Design team here at the Wikimedia Foundation.
*Have you created or collected surveys for your program implementations? *
We’re excited to let you know that we are proceeding with exploring how we
can support your efforts to survey participants in your programs. In order
to proceed, we need your help! We would like you to share any surveys that
you have sent and collected with our team.
This will allow us to learn more about what types of information you are
collecting through surveying, and the types of surveys you are producing.
This will also allow us to work with you to build tools for better
evaluation and surveying!
#1 You can email me your surveys in email or as attachments
#2 You can email me a link to your survey
#3 You can post a link to you survey on meta
h<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programs:Evaluation_portal/Parlor/Questions…>
ere<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programs:Evaluation_portal/Parlor/Questions…>
#4 It can be in any
language<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programs:Evaluation_portal/Parlor/Questions…>
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programs:Evaluation_portal/Parlor/Questions…>
We’ve already identified a number of survey priorities, and while survey
development will be ongoing, we want to
be<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programs:Evaluation_portal/Parlor/Questions…>sure
to include the interests of everyone in our planning process. As we
identify, prioritize, and begin to take steps to meet the survey needs of
you and other program leaders, the more you are able to share the better we
can learn from what you’ve done, and the better we can respond to
everyone’s needs. If you have developed or used surveys to help tell the
story of your program, please send them to us so we are sure to review and
consider everyone’s interests.
Feel free to email me with any questions or additional information about
your surveying experience, or stop by the Parlor on
Meta<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programs:Evaluation_portal/Parlor/Questions>or
our Facebook
group <https://www.facebook.com/groups/programevaluation/>.
Upcoming event: our friends on the Grantmaking Learning & Evaluation team
are hosting their second Learning Patterns Hackathon on December 17
16:00-17:30 UTC on IRC. Learn more and sign up

We look forward to your sharing and thank you for your time and amazing
work.

Hi everyone! (Important areas bolded for people who are TL;DR types[1])
As you may remember, the Program Evaluation and Design team here at WMF has
been doing evaluation of programmatic activities in the movement - with
your help! THANK YOU!
*We have released our next reporting page about our current focus programs
on meta about WORKSHOPS. *We appreciate everyone's participation so far,
and we've made improvements to the edit-a-thon page based on your feedback,
including bolding highlights for those of you who seeking a high level view
of our ongoing reporting.
*A third page is now on meta, and ready for improvement and commenting.
It's the WORKSHOPS page*, which provides information about:
- Program basics and history
- Response rates and limitations
- Reported data evaluation
- Priority goals as chosen by program leaders
- How much budget and time goes into planning workshops
- What participation is like at workshops
- Recruitment, retention, and replication details.
- Next steps (tool building, requests, support, etc)
*Feel free to improve and make edits on the talk page. And of course, if
you are a program leader/chapter that implements workhops and your data
isn't represented, please contact me to submit your data*.
*You can visit this new page here:*
*https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programs:Evaluation_portal/Library/Editing_workshops
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programs:Evaluation_portal/Library/Editing_…>*
We hope you find this report inspiring and helpful.
*Our next report we'll post will be about GLAM content donations*. I'll
send another email out about that soon.
Happy evaluating, and be sure to visit us on Facebook[2]
