| Abstract:
Collaboration is the ability to actively work with others in a mutually beneficial relationship in order to achieve a shared vision, not likely to otherwise occur. The level of collaboration varies for each evaluation and it will depend on the situation within the evaluation. Satisfaction is the fulfillment of a need or want. For the purposes of this evaluation satisfaction was defined as how participants felt about their experiences with the training program. A satisfaction survey was used within a collaborative effort to capture participants' opinions. This roundtable will examine the contribution and the role of the collaboration members throughout the administration of a survey when time and resources are limited. Specifically, the importance of collecting satisfaction measures, problems measuring satisfaction, and solutions on how to handle these situations.

| Abstract:
Long distance evaluations are the ones in which the client is really far away of the evaluator. The client could be in a different state or even in a different country. In these cases the use of a collaborative approach is central to support an adequate evaluation process. Collaboration is the ability to actively work with others in a mutually beneficial relationship in order to achieve a shared vision. The level of collaboration varies for each evaluation and it will depend on the situation within the evaluation. The collaborative relationship between the evaluators and stakeholders is a key component to achieve the goals and objectives of long distance evaluations. The purpose of this presentation is to discuss what needs to be taken into consideration to reduce difficulties, making these evaluations something doable. This presentation is based on evaluator's firsthand experience successfully conducting evaluations at a distance by incorporating a collaborative approach.
