Explore ways that web-based software can be used within organizations to work together on projects and documents. See how to embed presentations, images, spread-sheets, lists, videos, RSS feeds, documents, and other information from one site into another. Investigate tracking options, comment capabilities and remote hosting. See how other Web-based tools can be used to edit images, manage projects, create flowcharts, build databases, and convert files, all without needing to download and install software.

Participants will become familiar with an evaluation process and will use and take away methods and tools for assessment, evaluation planning, creating logic models, data collection, data analysis and reporting.
