EVALUATION OF ACTIVITY
|
| Evaluation of the Learning Objectives |
| Participants were satisfied with the objectives and the content of the workshop |
| Evaluation of the activity |
| All participants left with an email adress. They learned the functions, and succeeded in learning all activities. Small problems in attaching files for some participants. |
| Evaluation of what was learned by the participants |
| They understand the concept of a web emailadress, they can access anywhere. It would be possible to offer advanced workshops on the subject. |
| Evaluation of what staff have learned |
| It is important to know in advance how much the participants use the internet, and what they know. If they are not skilled, it will take longer to teach the different functions. |

ANALYSIS OF EVALUATION |
|
| What would you change to improve activity? |
| Better screening of participants. They have to be at the same level of competence. Plenty of time for hands-on and individual teaching. |
| What particular circumstance could affect a change in the activity? |
| none |
| Other possible Activities |
| One to one teaching at the computer. Advanced workshops |
| Best practice |
| You have to be able to teach in generel. Some of the participants might already have an web email account - and want to learn to use this one in particular. It is not recommended to choose only one webmail. |
| Transferability: |
| It is important that the participants understand, that the webmail is different from the email offered with their internet connection at home. |
