1. Feedback Collection Methods

A. Post-Meeting Surveys

• Design a Survey:
  • Create a concise survey to be distributed immediately after each meeting. The survey should include both quantitative and qualitative questions, such as:
    • Rate the clarity of the meeting agenda (1-5 scale).
    • How relevant were the topics discussed? (1-5 scale)
    • How effective was the facilitation? (1-5 scale)
    • What did you find most valuable about the meeting?
    • What suggestions do you have for improving future meetings?
• Distribution:
  • Use online survey tools (e.g., Google Forms, SurveyMonkey) to facilitate easy distribution and collection of responses.

B. Focus Group Discussions

• Organize Focus Groups:
  • Schedule focus group discussions with a diverse group of stakeholders to gather in-depth feedback. Aim for a mix of participants from different roles (instructors, coordinators, administrative staff).
• Discussion Topics:
  • Explore topics such as:
    • Overall satisfaction with the meeting process.
    • Suggestions for improving engagement and participation.
    • Ideas for topics that stakeholders would like to see addressed in future meetings.

C. One-on-One Interviews

• Conduct Interviews:
  • Offer the option for one-on-one interviews with key stakeholders who may have specific insights or suggestions. This can provide a more personal and detailed understanding of their experiences.
