For regular deliveries, less formal evaluation formats are better suited. In line with the Quality Standards for Courses under Key Action 1 (→ Validation & Implementation Criteria), they use participant feedback both during the course to adapt it immediately (formative evaluation) and at its end to improve future deliveries (summative evaluation).

Formative Evaluation during the Course

The BIT includes regular opportunities for participants to give feedback on the learning process, the course structure, the activities and group work, and their individual needs:

The lesson plans and HOW activities (PRO: in their revised versions) also provide insight into how participants apply the SciLMi approach in their teaching. Course providers can use them to identify strengths and areas for improvement in the modules and materials.
