Aim

This evaluation determines how effectively the programme is meeting schools' needs and whether there are areas which can be developed.  The statistics collected via the website give no indication of the quality of service or customer satisfaction so an approach based on participants’ views has been taken.

Purpose

This evaluation provides a qualitative and quantitative insight into these areas, using the Terms of Reference below as a focus.  It will be used to influence decisions on future developments and funding.  Similar services across the country were compared and the experiences of Register schools and user schools in different areas were sought.

Terms of Reference

An independent evaluation of the ICT Register should seek to establish:

1. impact and value for money in User Schools;
2. impact and value for money in Register Schools;
3. the ease of use of the website resource.
