Evaluation and evidence-based decision-making

This project brings together colleagues from within the Evaluation Collective, a sector-wide network, to collate and respond to ‘wicked issues’ which exist within evaluation practices in higher education institutions.


Digital Zine

Through the publication of evaluation issues and solutions in a digital Zine, the higher education sector will be supported in designing better interventions, leading to improved learning experiences and enhanced longer-term student outcomes.


Evaluation methods: Volume one, issue one

Publication date: 22 Nov 2023

  • feel listened to and supported in their struggles to embed effective evaluation in a variety of spaces
  • access practical solutions to wicked evaluation issues within their contexts
  • build confidence with evaluation practices
  • design better interventions which lead to better learning experiences and enhanced longer-term student outcomes.
