Learning about learning: participative and inquiring approaches to evaluation - Dr Luke Desforges

CILASS and LeTS have experimented with new approaches to the evaluation of learning and teaching over the last five years. The emphasis has been on evaluation as an inquiry activity, focusing on learning more about learning. It has also highlighted the role of participation by educational communities in developing usable knowledge. What lessons have been learnt from this approach to evaluation, and where do we go next in using evaluation to learn about learning?
