[Announcement from HE-Sl listserv]
Dear colleagues,
Learn and Serve America http://www.learnandserve.gov/, the National Service-Learning Clearinghouse http://www.servicelearning.gov/, and the International Association for Research on Service-Learning and Community Engagement http://www.researchslce.org/ are pleased to announce the upcoming free webinar, "Service-Learning Evaluation: An Overview," Thursday, January 20, from 3:00 - 4:00 pm Eastern time.
Space is limited, so register http://servicelearning.org/webinar-signup today.
Description:
Rigorous evaluations can be helpful to service-learning practitioners. Effective evaluations can document outcomes, identify program design characteristics associated with outcomes, and provide data to use to improve service-learning practice. This one-hour seminar will provide information about the basics of evaluation - how to develop evaluation questions from logic models, choices for evaluation design and the benefits and disadvantages associated with each, developing and/or identifying appropriate instruments for data collection, data collection strategies and issues (including human subjects protections), and reporting. A "case study" example, using a cluster evaluation of eight Learn and Serve America state grantees and two national studies, will be provided.
Presenters:
Dr. Shelley H. Billig is Vice President of RMC Research and an active evaluator and researcher in the field of service-learning.

Basically maximum numbers of Webinar Jam service providers would like to provide their service free of cost. It does not mean that they do not have any expense for that. They are willingly doing that kind of social work because of their social responsibility and to satisfy their customers. But sometime you can ask for some donation where don’t have any compulsory donate option. You can donate them if you wish.
