Abstract
The Office of Learning and Teaching requires an evaluation of the large projects and fellowships that it funds.  The evaluation is intended to provide useful information to the project team, the OLT and others interested in how the project or fellowship progressed and the extent to which it achieved its outcomes.  To assist in designing and conducting these evaluation, the OLT provides a resource (http://www.olt.gov.au/evaluation).  This seminar will explain the OLT requirements for evaluation including the Evaluation Resource, discuss some issues related to evaluating OLT activities, and provide an opportunity to raise questions and discuss the evaluation of your intended or actual project or fellowship.
