Guidance on how to complete the Final Report

Evaluating Course Data Projects

Final Report

7

When compiling your report(s):

Keep your audience in mind at all times – do not fall into the trap of assuming that your audience is an expert on:

acronymsyour institutiontechnical detailyour domain/activity/subject area etc.

Audience of Final Report = HE/FE institutions, the wider community and Jisc, not just Jisc

Final Report

8

Avoid too much detail on project management activities -Only expand if there are lessons learnt

Consider what would be useful to other institutions who are considering undertaking a similar piece of work and hoping to learn from your work.

Share the lessons you have learned. What went well and what didn’t, and why – what were the contributory factors?

What has your project found/achieved/demonstrated? This is particularly important for your sections covering methodology, implementation, conclusions, implications and recommendations.

Final Report

9

ALL your deliverables should be on your project web site (which needs to be sustained until March 2016), and that all deliverables should be referenced somewhere within your final report.

If you find a section is getting very too long consider writing it up as a separate paper deliverable, then reference it - eg report on user needs in the area of xyz.

Add extra headings/sections to your final report if this will help the flow of your final report.

Avoid repetition – add reference to other parts of document
