Google Sites Assists With Managing Evaluation Plan February 18, 2010
Posted by vickimcgarvey in : Comms , trackbackWe currently use a Wiki (Tiki) to manage our project outputs and Blog (wordpress) to provide a running commentary, now we have a late entry Google sites. Helen Adey our workpackage lead for Evaluation has produced an extensive detailed Evaluation Plan. The challenge has been drawing our attention to what activities need to be done at what time. The initial plan was in a word table. I transferred some of the activities into our Wiki but there was not enough detail. It is helpful if you can see what needs to be done in each month across the whole of the project. Again we could do a series of pages in the Wiki and navigate between them using links. However, I have found that Wikis can be a bit idiosyncratic, they are good for managing access to particular pages and for quickly adding information such as action points but the charm of Google sites is that you can control the navigation and easily move pages up and down the hierarchy. If you want to deliver content that has a lot of detail like the evaluation plan Google’s site management facilitates clearer delivery. Also the styles, headings etc raise the content.
I am only part way through migrating the content from the evaluation plan but the site is publicly available at http://sites.google.com/site/shareevaluationplan/. It, also, still needs some proof reading but when the site has been fully populated with the plan and the evidence I think it will be a useful resources for the project.
