| Abstract: Effectively communicating evaluation results is fundamental in ensuring use of evaluation findings. Evaluations can only benefit a program if evaluators communicate their findings clearly and concisely. This demonstration will focus on upgrades to several web and software applications that have served as communication tools between evaluators and clients. Specifically, the presenter will systematically show attendees highlights of two interactive websites; fact sheets presenting the results of complicated statistical analyses in an easy-to-understand format; and two case management systems that allow users to input, store, and report data. The presenter will explain these specific examples to demonstrate how evaluators can communicate findings effectively and creatively. |
