Because our work is central to improving teaching with technologies, we measure and share the impact of our work. Based on our understanding of the situation, the stakeholders involved, the technologies, and the types of learning we employ, we collect and analyze data about the impact our proposed design, technology evaluation, or consultation. We reach out to stakeholders (students, faculty members, administration, and staff). Sometimes our impact can’t be fully measured immediately, so we may plan for longer-term assessment.
Our goal is to track and share correlations between our work with our clients and a predetermined learning outcome. We aim to be transparent and share our failures and lessons learned as well as our successes, so that anyone can learn from them.
Our impact can be seen through impacts and outcomes, external publications, invited talks, conference presentations and testimonials.
