New Tools Available for Measuring Interpretation's Impact
Although the literature is full of published results of evaluations of interpretive programs, the authors of this paper find most of the studies of limited use in informing other programs, because most evaluations tend to be time- and site-specific and use customized methods that are not appropriate for application in other settings. So the authors set out to create an evaluation package that's easy to use, inexpensive, reliable, flexible, ethical, and scientifically sound (among other considerations).
