Designing Online Information Portals - Monitoring and Evaluation

Original Message

From: Taline Haytayan, posted on 2009/02/03

Dear KM4Dev members,

I am currently working on developing a monitoring and evaluation plan of an online information portal, which includes a baseline, and would be very interested to hear from others who have done something similar, in particular around:

• how to design a baseline of online information tools
• tracking usage of online information portals
• how to assess whether the content is useful for people
• innovative ways of gaining feedback from online users about the site and the content

Any experiences out there would be much appreciated,

Programme Officer.
