Greetings Program Leaders and Evaluators!
Important updates from Learning and Evaluation:
== Wikimania 2015 Survey results and next steps [1] ==
We have completed the report for the quantitative data of Wikimania 2015
survey results! The case study, published on the Evaluation portal on Meta
[1], will give readers an overview of participation, favorite sessions,
satisfaction with the conference program, outcomes in terms of networking,
and learning, among other things. The report also shows those categories
for Wikimania 2015 Hackathon. We will be reaching out to a few key
conference stakeholders to process through the qualitative data and to
ensure the data’s use in guiding future planning. So stay tuned for part
two. [1]
== L&E at Wikimedia Conference USA: The Outcomes [2] ==
During Wikimedia Conference USA, the Learning and Evaluation team engaged
in two different sessions: Community Health Clinic and Creative Program
Design [2]. The first session offered a chance to share the findings of the
Community Health Learning Campaign, as well as deeper research on how
editors relate to one another through the analysis of their talk page [2].
The Creative Program Design Workshop was an opportunity for community
members to think creatively of the challenges they want to solve. Review
the presentations! [2]
== Outcomes of sessions at Wikimedia CEE Meetup 2015 [3] ==
The Learning and Evaluation team hosted a series of workshops at the CEE
Meeting, September 10 - 13, in Tartu (Estonia) [3]. There were the
workshops co-hosted with local community leaders: Wikimedia programs
toolkits, Tools rotation, Fail Fest, and The ABCDs of Storytelling. It was
the first time we piloted workshop toolkits. Find information about how
participants related to these sessions, and how useful workshops were to
them.
== Quarterly Review Findings [4] ==
September marked the end of another quarter and all the teams completed
their quarterly reviews piloting new Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The
L&E team introduced indicators related to resource use and engagement. As
you can review in the published report, we are now reporting performance in
terms of our portal resource pageviews, , editors, and pages created
(including the Learning Patterns Library), as well as the number of
community leaders engaging with our team. Seen in this quarter’s review,we
reached a tipping point in Learning Patterns. The number of patterns
created directly by community members has grown beyond the number of
patterns facilitated by our team. Thanks to all who have been sharing their
learning! [4]
== The new Wikimedia survey site has a name! [5] ==
After running a community vote on All our ideas, we have a winning Survey
name: Survey Support Desk! Stay tuned for more updates to come, and if
you'd like to get more involved, or need help with a survey, email
