OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Putting in place effective processes for learning is key to getting better at policy engagement, and to meeting some of the demands we face to demonstrate the impact of our work. But what tools and resources can we use – and how do we use them?
To help researchers answer these questions, the Policy Engagement Team is offering this short course, comprising two parts, each lasting 2 hours.
Learning outcomes
A better understanding of the foundational concepts of monitoring and evaluation, including the principles and methodologies used to assess policy engagement outcomes.
More proficiency to develop a theory of change, and to track outcomes and impacts.
In Part 1, participants engaged in small-group and plenary activities. They learned about effective techniques for monitoring, evaluation, and learning related to policy engagement. These concepts were then applied through drafting a theory of change.
In Part 2, participants will expand their understanding of tracking outputs and impacts throughout the project cycle by utilizing pertinent tools and techniques. They will put their knowledge into practice by applying one of the previously reviewed tools within the context of a case study.
