Webinar: Evaluating Social Media Impact in NSF INCLUDES Projects

Ever wonder how to use social media effectively in your broadening participation project? Would you like to know how to evaluate your social media efforts? Then join us for a free one-hour webinar given by experts in the field of program evaluation at 2 p.m. EST, February 1.

The webinar is a continuation of the NIMBioS/NISER series of STEM program evaluation events for the NSF INCLUDES projects. The target audience members for this webinar are STEM educators who are carrying out STEM broadening participation projects, including leaders of NSF INCLUDES projects. Social media is increasingly an integral part of these projects. Whether using Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat or another social media platform, project leaders must decide which platforms bring high impact to their project and how to allocate limited resources to the various possibilities. Participants in this webinar will have the opportunity to learn about online measurement and analytic tools as well as social media evaluation design plans to increase communication and engagement with stakeholders within their project and to determine the most effective social media plans for their projects.

Other Upcoming Webinar Topics -- all webinars begin at 2 p.m. EST.
March 1: Program Models as a Tool for Scaling up NSF INCLUDES Projects
April 5: Engaging Diverse Populations in Evaluations of NSF INCLUDES Projects
May 3: Qualitative Data in Culturally Rich Evaluations of NSF INCLUDES Projects
June 7: Evaluation Strategies for Measuring the Broader Impacts of NSF INCLUDES Projects
