IPDET Online Workshops

The IPDET 2023 Online WORKSHOP PROGRAM is delivered between September and November.

The IPDET Online workshops open a virtual room to meet, share and engage in peer-to-peer learning, combining facilitation of knowledge transfer by renowned faculty with moderated exchange among professionals around the globe. 

Those who just started their first steps in the evaluation field can solidify and deepen their foundations, and more experienced ones find some specialized topics to accommodate their specific interest.

Our international faculty consists of highly experienced renowned instructors from around the world, representing diverse perspectives from academia and evaluation practice.

Didactics are tailored to the necessities of an online learning format, combining plenary in-person sessions with discussions, video-recorded input to capture the contents within a specific time frame, self-organized group work according to the time zones participants live in, Q&A sessions etc. with the usage of our eLearning platform.

Participants will be awarded an official IPDET workshop participation certificate.

Schedule 

One workshop covers min. 13h and max. 20h over a period of 5 days. Each workshop has a different schedule depending on the program the respective instructor(s) define. It is important to be able to commit the whole week for the workshop as fulfilling tasks individually and in small groups requires your flexibility. Please see the detailed schedules on the workshop descriptions.

Please be aware that participants in the workshops live in different regions of the world, and therefore in different time zones. The instructors will take this into consideration as far as possible. But please keep in mind, that it might not be possible to accommodate everybody to the full extent regarding scheduling the live sessions.

O-1: Quantitative Impact Evaluation
Does your program work? How can you be sure? Are experimental methods the gold standard of evaluation? Are other methods valid and useful to answer questions about impact? This workshop is a user-friendly introduction to rigorous quantitative impact evaluation (experimental & quasi-experimental), its concepts, scope, methods and limitations. If you are interested in impact evaluation, but too afraid (of math and statistical formulae) to ask, this is the workshop for you.

O-3: Digital Analytics for Monitoring and Evaluation
How does one make sense of this new digital data, utilizing innovative methods while adhering to rigorous evaluation protocols?
