| Abstract: How can technology improve your evaluation design? Whether you need a multidimensional database or an interactive graphing site, 21st century technology can efficiently collect, manage, maintain, and distribute evaluation data. This session will demonstrate the multiple ways evaluators at the Wyoming Survey & Analysis Center (WSYAC) have used their Center for Information Systems and Services (CISS) to enhance their evaluation designs. Attendees will be introduced to several technological tools that can impact programming decisions, manage and store data, and creatively present data. Specially, presenters will provide step-by-step explanations of an agent-based simulation model measuring outcomes, two data collection and management tools, and two interactive graphing websites. |
