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 hhttps://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programs:Evaluation_portal/Parlor/Questions#Have_you_created_or_collected_surveys_for_your_program_implementations.3F erehttps://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programs:Evaluation_portal/Parlor/Questions#Have_you_created_or_collected_surveys_for_your_program_implementations.3F

We’ve already identified a number of survey priorities, and while survey development will be ongoing, we want to behttps://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programs:Evaluation_portal/Parlor/Questions#Have_you_created_or_collected_surveys_for_your_program_implementations.3Fsure 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 Metahttps://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programs:Evaluation_portal/Parlor/Questionsor our Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/programevaluation/.
