Creative ways to collect, understand, and share data

About this event

Description

During this training, we will explore innovative tools that can be used to collect data (e.g., photo elicitation, selfie-stations, feedback walls), make sense of data (e.g., data parties, learning sessions), and share data (e.g., presentations, one-pagers, dashboards, visualizations). As we review these approaches and try a few of them, we will also walk through a framework for choosing the best ones based on how the data will be used and who is involved.

Learning Outcomes

Participants will:

• Have lots of tools for collecting, understanding, and sharing data and be inspired to try some of these new ideas.
• Know how to make decisions about which options will work best for any given data project.

Audience: This workshop is targeted at nonprofit program coordinators / managers, executive directors, board members, and foundation program managers.
