SNP success indicators
Evaluating student engagement and 'progress' will be an essential element of the project.
Student engagement will be established through ‘participation’ data, including:
- System statistics on level of usage of Schome Park (see Risk Factor 7)
- Regular ‘polls’ of usage levels within Schome Park
- Collection of participation data by activity coordinators/leaders
- A student survey
Students’ progress will be established in relation to two sets of ‘skills:
- ‘Second Life skills’ related to using Teen Second Life, which will be mapped in terms of ‘real life’ relevance;
- ‘Knowledge Age skills’ directly related to ‘real life’
Students’ progress will be established through the collection of data linked with evaluation rrameworks based on these 'Second Life' and 'Knowledge Age' skills. This data collection will include:
- A student survey towards the end of the Pilot
- Evaluations by activity coordinators/leaders
- Self-evaluations by students as part of their feedback on activities
- Informal evaluations by OU support staff (related to changes in the amount and nature of support requested)
