Step 1: Plan the Review
 |
Who wants to do the review? |
 |
- Are we community members involved in the IT project?
- Are we mainly IT trainers?
- Is the review / evaluation required by an organisation or other source of funds?
- Are we the people who started or funded the IT project?
- Are we local business people or community leaders?
- Are we a mixed group with people from more than one of the groups above?
|
What IT project(s) are we reviewing? |
|
|
Why are we doing the review / evaluation? |
|
- Do we want to find out if the project is meeting its aims and goals?
- Do we want to improve our website (e.g., its design or content or involvement of community members in maintaining the website)?
- Do we want to improve an Internet training course (e.g., its structure, content, approach, suitability, access by a wider range of groups)?
- Do we want to find out what changes our IT project has made to our community?
- Do we want to improve the way we work together on our IT project?
- Do we want to ensure that resources such as Internet access are available to anyone in the community, and meet their different needs?
- Do we want to make sure our project continues when funding ends or key people leave town?
- Do we want to seek more funds for the next stage of the project?
|
What risks could be involved in doing this review? |
|
- Will this review cause any problems that we’ve not considered (e.g., unforseen costs in terms of time, energy and resources, unexpected harm to anyone or any group)?
- How can we avoid such problems?
- Who can help us understand the risks?
- Are there any ethical issues that we need to consider? (e.g. keeping the names of people involved in the review confidential)
