Assessing Performance
FCOB will use quantitative measures such as web analytics statistics and number of posts and comments, in addition to qualitative measures such as observations, personal feedback, and interviews. Usability, marketing and awareness, learning and value, and participation will primarily determine success.
Questions that explore experiences might include:
- What worked? What didn’t?
- What were your challenges?
- Where improvements can be made?
- Did participation add value to your unit's goals and/or the objectives of the campaign?
