Evaluation Basics for Non-Evaluators: Why do it? (3 of 6)

This video from EvaluATE is the third in a six-part video series that "provides a basic orientation to evaluation for individuals who are planning to submit proposals to the National Science Foundation’s [NSF] Advanced Technological Education program [ATE]. Each video in the series answers a common question often asked by individuals who are new to evaluation. During the video, Lori Wingate, co-principle investigator of EvaluATE, walks through the importance and functionality of the three main purposes of evaluation: improvement, accountability, and evidence. Also discussed are the NSF ATE requirements for evaluation.

The video runs 6:06 minutes in length. Other parts of the series are available to view separately.
