Before you begin to collect evidence of learning outcomes decide
- Why you are seeking this evidence
- What kind of information you will collect
- Who will collect it
- When will it be collected
- How to use the results to improve what you do and win support for future activity
What do you want to find out? Keep it simple and focused
- What are the learning outcomes of a visit to an archive?
- What new knowledge did students learn during a visit to a specific exhibition? How did this knowledge increase their understanding?
- To what extent did the experience result in improved self-esteem?
- How did using the library change attitudes towards libraries and learning?
You are trying to understand
- Whether, how and what learning occurs
- What the outcome of this learning is for the people concerned
- What the broad impact of this learning might be
