174 - Embracing New Technologies for Collaborative Evaluation

Abstract Information: Active participation in survey research fosters transparent communication among all evaluation stakeholders. Emerging survey technologies, including mobile apps and digital survey platforms, offer enhanced accessibility at a reduced cost compared to traditional methods. Digital survey platforms like Microsoft Forms introduce novel approaches to efficiently collect, analyze, and openly distribute survey responses. Stakeholders can easily respond using any web browser or mobile device (Microsoft, 2023). Furthermore, exporting responses to Power BI enables the creation of dimensional models and dashboard visualizations for the collected data (Hayardsi et al., 2018, p.1779). By integrating the Model for Collaborative Evaluation (MCE), we emphasize the importance of open communication facilitated by new survey technologies. This involves leveraging survey responses from platforms like Microsoft Forms and utilizing Power BI for data analysis and visualization. Through transparent and collaborative technology utilization, we aim to construct stakeholder narratives and ensure clarity in messaging. Our presentation will showcase examples of survey development in Microsoft Forms and the construction of data dashboards within the Power BI platform. This endeavor contributes to the knowledge base of digital survey practices for collaborative evaluation.
