| Abstract:
Blogs are changing the face of marketing, business, and culture. How are they changing the practice of evaluation? This roundtable discussion will focus on how evaluators can use the combination of blogs and web analytics to assist in their evaluative processes both quantitatively and qualitatively. The facilitators will guide the participants in discussing some of the pros, cons, and potential hazards of using blogs in evaluations.

Voicethread: A New Way to Evaluate |

| Abstract:
Voicethread.com is a new website that allows users to comment on videos, images, documents, and presentations online. Not only can they make text comments, but they can also make audio and video comments. This is a rich resource for evaluators because they can gather far more data via a voicethread than a simple survey or interview. Because Voicethread.com is accessible to anyone with an internet connection, you can gather feedback from people outside your city, state, or even country. This roundtable will provide an open discussion about how this new technology could enhance evaluation in the future.
