Onboarding checklist: Workshop evaluation form

[naoe-tatara]

The last item in debriefing is
"One week after the workshop, the local coordinator will send out a workshop evaluation form to all participants. A summary of all feedback is provided after each term in the form of a presentation or a written report by the coordinator. Ask the local coordinator for the feedback for your workshop at any time."

Is it a UiO evaluation form or Carpentries post-workshop survey?

If it is Carpentries post-workshop survey, a link to the survey results will be shared by Carpentries team to the instructor directly, so probably it should be revised.

It is - or better: it was - a UiO-form (Nettskjema). We have not used it for the workshops in spring, it was supposed to be revised by the Board or a special task force, but it never happened. I think this should be put as a task for the Board: review the Nettskjema.
I don't want to send out too many surveys to participants, it's annoying if you have to fill out a lot and chances are high that only a few will do it.

Why one week after the workshop? Wouldn't be better if the form was sent max 3 days after the workshop? Then the event is still fresh in the participants memory. What do you think?

[arockenberger]

The reason is that the survey asks for how/if people have had the chance to use what they have learned in their day-to-day work. If we ask this too early, the answer is likely to be no. A week is still a fairly short time to implement something newly learned, but given that people will have forgotten about the other aspects of the workshop, one week seemed to be a good compromise.
However, the entire post-workshop survey is under revision, so we can discuss how to handle this in the future.

We should take this up again for discussion with the Board and the library. In 2020, we’ve been using the Carpentries post-workshop survey bit not the Nettskjema one to not create feedback-fatigue. The response rate for the surveys is generally low. Is there anything we - the UiO- Carpentry community- wants/needs to know in regards to learner feedback that the Carpentries survey doesn’t cover?

Closed Issue #33 - Once Onboarding checklist is updated, this Issue should be closed, too.
