27. Participant feedback is critical to implementation and therefore learners should be involved in this process. ArtsWorks is based on the premise of student involvement throughout all levels of program development as appropriate.

28. Following the implementation phase at the end of the 2007-2008 academic year participants will be invited to participate in an evaluation in the form of an on-line program evaluation survey as an additional method that participants can use to provide feedback. This quantitative evaluation will measure student learning outcomes to assess the group learning that resulted from the program.

29. As Phase 3 of the program involves the participation of faculty members, it will be necessary to evaluate responses from the faculty members who are involved as cohort team leaders and service-learning team leaders. Group reflection and individual interviews will be the primary qualitative methods while individual paper survey instruments and on-line surveys will be the quantitative methods.

30. An executive summary including a complete program summary of phase one to three, findings, and recommendations will accompany the data analysis. The next phase will involve a presentation to all department heads within the Faculty of Arts and the department of Career Development & Experiential Learning who will also be invited to provide feedback to program managers and the respective deans.
