PILOT EVALUATION INSIGHTS

Evaluation as an essential part of the process

Part of the but trying to keep an external view

Team at the Center for Internet Studies and Digital Life (University of Navarra)

- Prof. Angel Arrese - Prof. Ramón Salaverría - Samuel Negredo, Ph.D. - With the assistance of: Prof. Robert Picard (Oxford University)

Our evaluation includes: •  Handbook •  Pilot course •  Open Innovation Labs (1 general one, 1 more per country)


Evaluating the Pilot Course (WIP)

3 different course structures (from an extended version during three months to a short and intensive one of 24 hours)

Number of participants: 37-40

Evaluation tools: •  Pre-pilot survey (students demographics&background,

expectations) •  Post-course survey (contents, structure, materials, etc) •  In depth interviews with professors, students and coordinators •  Observation: we attended the last session of each course (taking

pictures, visiting the facilities, observing dynamics)

Why are you interested in this course?


What do you expect from this course?


Where do you think this kind of subject should be located?


The course objectives were clear


The workload was easy to manage


“I think I have made progress in this course”


While learning material has been well rated as relevant and useful…


Recommended reading books and documents are not so well considered


“The course stimulated my interest and thought on the subject area”


•  “It made me think about new and different possibilities for my life and about the importance of thinking different nowadays to improve yourself and career” (ISCTE, best)

•  “It promoted us to think out of the box. The feedback from the professors was very useful” (Turku, best)


“My expectations have been met”


•  “The people I have met, the people running the course, the speakers, the introduction to everyone at persuasive media and the professional involvement and enjoyment of the whole course pulled together to make an excellent experience” (UWE, best)


“My entrepreneurial thinking has been reinforced”


To improve: lack of diversity, more defined briefings

•  “Join people from different backgrounds/study fields “ (ISCTE)

•  “More time and involving more departments for varied ideas” (Turku)

•  “The briefs were interesting, but we would have progressed more with a focused one” (UWE)
