Greetings Program Leaders and Evaluators! TL;DR: New Storytelling Learning Series; We need your DATA and are standing by to support you! Important updates from Learning and Evaluation: == New Learning Series! Telling Your Program Stories [1] == Starting next week, the new learning series will focus on the use of reporting for storytelling. If you strive to showcase your efforts to promote Wikimedia programs and projects, you can gain new skills and find resources that will help you develop this skill. We will include case studies from community members, and eventually develop a new resource on the Evaluation portal for future reference and continuous dialogue around this topic. Sign up for the first session, next Wednesday [2]! == Round II of Voluntary Program Reporting: Deadline approaching for editing workshops and editathons! == If you coordinated editathons or editing workshops from September 1, 2013, to September 30, 2014, you can submit your data to the II Round of Data Collection. Deadline to fill out the survey is October 20. You can review the reporting items before you start the survey [5]. Once you are ready, find the collector here: https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_0B3azKpdZ7ggCtD == Office Hours for Voluntary Program Reporting== Those who are struggling with program reporting or have questions for Round II of Data Collection [3], can join us on the coming Office Hours next week.

Greetings Program Leaders and Evaluators! Important updates from Learning and Evaluation: == New Office Hours to Assist you with Voluntary Reporting [1] == The team will host office hours with program leaders to give support on reporting and Wikimetrics. If you are struggling to get at the data you need for reporting, join us on Monday and we’ll help you out via IRC chat #wikimedia-ped. * Monday, October 6 from 15:00 -17:00 UTC (8 - 9 am PDT) * Tuesday October 7 from 0:00-2:00 UTC (Monday October 6, 5 - 7 pm PDT) We will also be hosting more times in the next month! Help us find the best times for everyone by filling out this meeting time poll those times that work best for you [2]! == New Editor Engagement Vital Signs (EEVS) dashboards [3] == Analytics has been working hard to expand metrics and Wikimetrics ability to measure project-level cohorts to populate the new EEVS dashboards for project level metrics. Metrics included in the dashboard include: - Namespace Edits - Newly Registered - Pages Created - Rolling Active Editor - Rolling New Active Editor - Rolling Surviving New Active Editor Learn more about the project with the Metrics meeting overview presented yesterday [4] or the metrics definitions [5]. You can also visit the dashboards to check them out directly! https://metrics.wmflabs.org/static/public/dash/ == Changes in Wikimetrics == Wikimetrics [6] was updated yesterday with changes to the metrics "Edits" and "Pages Created." These metrics now have a new option to include counts on deleted or archived pages. “Include Deleted” is the default option - it will be already checked off in the “Pick Metrics” section. To find the number of “bytes added” or “edits” from existing pages only, uncheck the box. Cautions: - The new EEVS dashboards for project level metrics include the counts of “edits” and “pages created” from deleted and archived pages. If you want to make a comparison between your cohort and your project level metrics, you will want to be sure you are using the same measurement parameters. - In some cases, the results of “edits” and “pages created” may be a lot higher when counts are included from deleted pages. - Recurring reports that started beforehand and are still running daily will now count deleted / archived pages. These will show a jump on October 3. Bonus: On both these metrics, you now have the ability to count across all namespaces. This is now the default setting. Just leave the namespaces field blank on these two metrics to count edits made to all namespaces in the selected project(s). == Changes to definition of Active Editor == Some may have already seen that the metrics standardization work for the new EEVS metrics led to metrics research and decision-making that ended up in a change to the definition of an “Active Editor.” Where before the definition included only edits to the main article namespace, the new definition of “Active Editor” is any user which makes five (5) or more edits to any project namespace in a 30 day period. This new definition is used within the new “Rolling Active Editor,” “Rolling New Active Editor,” and “Rolling “Surviving New Active Editor.” Please direct any questions to the Wikimetrics mailing list [7]. As always, stay up-to-date by connecting on our portal [8].

Greetings Program Leaders and Evaluators! Important updates from Learning and Evaluation: == New blog! Quantitative vs Qualitative: More friends than enemies [1] == The post, that can be found on the Wikimedia blog [1], gives a general overview on this two methods for gathering information and doing evaluation. In the context of the II Round of Data collection around Wikimedia programs, and as we put into effect Global Metrics, this resource will come in especially handy for program leaders. The new page on the Evaluation portal [2] has more information on the original divide between the two, the theoretical origin they stem from and how they can be combined in a mixed-method world to tell better stories about programs. == New Resource! Measures for Evaluation [3] == Because global metrics is a short list of measures for measuring program goals, the new tool Measures for Evaluation [3], provides several maps for planning out your evaluation journey! The tool is organized through three strategic priorities: (1) Increase Participation, (2) Add Quality Content, and (3) Expand Reach and Readership. Most importantly, use the talk page to suggest measures and tools where you might not see any! == New blog! Global Metrics for Grants [4] == Last week we published a blogpost about Global Metrics, that explains the origin of this new set of metrics and we hope to learn from them as a movement. Most importantly, it describes how they are linked to the impact analysis the Learning and Evaluation team has shared in the past months, and how to tell a more complete story that goes beyond the numbers. If you haven’t seen them yet, please find the Learning Patterns that go over each metric on the Evaluation Portal [5]. Please reach out to us if you have any questions! == Second Round of Data collection has launched. Join us! [6]== Last Tuesday we sent around an invite to program leaders to take part in the second round of data collection and analysis of Wikimedia programs. This week, the invite was extended to the movement via the general Wikimedia list. With your help, we hope to gather the data we need to build a better understanding of Wikimedia programs and projects. Please note you can submit your own reports in any language. As always, stay up-to-date by connecting on our portal [7]. On behalf of the Program Evaluation and Design team, thank you for your time and attention. *María Cruz * \\ Community Coordinator, PE&D Team \\ Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. mcruz(a)wikimedia.org | : @marianarra_ <https://twitter.com/marianarra_> [1] Quantitative vs Qualitative - Blog: http://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/09/24/quantitative-versus-qualitative-more-f… [2] Quantitative vs Qualitative - Page: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Evaluation/Quantitative_vs_Qualitati… [3] Measures for Evaluation: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Evaluation/Measures_for_evaluation [4] Global Metrics for Grants: one way of doing, reporting and learning better (blog): http://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/09/16/global-metrics-for-grants-one-way-of-d… [5] Learning Patterns for Global Metrics on the Evaluation Portal: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Learning_patterns/Calculating_global… [6] Round II of Data Reporting doc: https://docs.google.com/a/wikimedia.org/document/d/1CG-K8I1d9JPqyRRyHTIQ5x7… [7] Upcoming Events Section in PE&D portal: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Evaluation/News#upcoming-events

Launch of Data Collection (Round II) - Voluntary Program Reporting!
by Maria Cruz 16 Sep '14

16 Sep '14

Dear Program Leaders and Evaluators, Today, we launch our second round of voluntary reporting. We invite all program leaders and evaluators to participate in, the most epic data collection and analysis of Wikimedia programs we've done so far as a movement. As we did in the Fall of 2013, once again we cordially request for you to share the data you have been collecting to evaluate your programs (i.e., Edit-a-thons, Editing Workshops, On-wiki Writing Contests, Photo Events, etc.). To best prepare, review the reporting items *[1]* and start gathering that data you have filed away about your programs since September 1, 2013! You can ask questions directly on the reporting form preview or on our portal talk page [2]. When you are ready to begin, you will find the reporting collector at: https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_0B3azKpdZ7ggCtD Last year, we were honored to have so many program leaders willing to report whatever data they could. Many have benefitted from those first reports *[3]*. We know everyone has been tracking and collecting more than ever before and we are excited for this second round. We will be looking for your reports and reaching out to offer support in reporting; if you are planning to report, let us know so that we can help best. Have you been tracking these data in a different way that you would like to share with us, or have you already reported these data elsewhere? No problem, we are happy to have you share in another format. Message eval(a)wikimedia.org and we can work out the easiest way to include your data! We are expanding the number of programs covered in the reporting this year, and extend the reporting window longer for some new programs, GLAM, and Wiki Loves Monuments. See the schedule below for timelines for reporting for each program type. Data submission deadlines by program: Data due by October 20th - Edit-a-thons - Editing Workshops Data due by November 3rd - On-wiki Writing Contests - Photo Events (Wiki Loves Earth, WikiExpeditions, WikiTakes, et.) - Wikipedia Education Program Data due by November 17th - Conferences - GLAM Content Donation - Hackathons - Wiki Loves Monuments - Wikimedian in Residence Remember, reporting is voluntary but the more people do it, the better representation of programs we can make. This voluntary reporting allows us to come together and generate a bird’s eye view of programs *[4]*. We want to understand the impact of programs across different contexts, to examine both more broadly, and more deeply, what works best to meet our shared goals for Wikimedia and to, together, grow the awesome *[5]* in Wikimedia programs! On behalf of the Program Evaluation and Design team, thank you for your time and support in this initiative. *María Cruz * \\ Community Coordinator, PE&D Team \\ Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. mcruz(a)wikimedia.org | : @marianarra_ <https://twitter.com/marianarra_> *Resource links:* *[1]* https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CG-K8I1d9JPqyRRyHTIQ5x7fASQXcHZsEMKutdA… *[2]* https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:Evaluation *[3] * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Evaluation/Evaluation_reports/2013 *[4]* https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Evaluation_Report_(beta)_Poster_Wik… *[5]* http://www.nbp.org/nbp/images/book_photos/MAG-AWESOME.jpg

Greetings Program Leaders and Evaluators! Important updates from Learning and Evaluation: == Introducing Global Metrics [1] in all WMF reports == Starting on September this year, we are going to put into effect a series of Global Metrics [1], that will help all parties involved understand the work being done through donors money. These will have the form of a table template that will be included in the reporting form. Grant officers, grantees and grant committee members have already been notified of these changes, and discussions were held on IRC on Thursday, September 4 and September 11. A coming blogpost on the Wikimedia blog will be available next week with more information. We have also developed a set of Learning Patterns for all seven metrics available on the Evaluation Portal [2]. == Second Round of Data collection coming soon == Next week our team will be sending out a call for voluntary submission for the second round of data collection. Previous data collection has allowed us to generate the first Program Reports (beta) [3]. Join us in learning and understanding Wikimedia programs! == Setting Goals and Targets with a SMART criteria [4] == If you missed the virtual event, it is now available online [4]. The event, that took place on September 4, was followed by Office Hours on September 10. The virtual meet-up focused on using a SMART criteria to set goals and targets, with a focus on writing the Annual Plan proposal for the FDC. Visit the available resources on the Evaluation Portal [5] and reach out to the team for further questions! == Upcoming event: Wikimetrics Overview [6] == On Wednesday, September 17 at 1500 UTC, we will host a new virtual event to showcase Wikimetrics. This tool has two new features: newly registered users, and editor survival threshold. The team will go over the tool step by step and will also enable two office hours of consultation via IRC channel #wikimedia-ped. Bring your user cohort and take active part in the event [6] ! == Ongoing question on the portal: the origin of Wikimedia Hackathons [7] == In order to both find out about the origin of Wikimedia programs, and engage program leaders in conversation on the portal, we have posted a question on the talk page of the Evaluation portal. If you have any information on Wikimedia Hackathons, how they started and who was coordinating the first one ever held, please comment on Meta [7] ! And feel free to share any questions around planning and evaluation of programs you may have. As always, stay up-to-date by connecting on our portal [8].
