Session Abstract: As universities invest in new educational innovations, the need for a scalable and reliable method of evaluation becomes critical. This presentation will outline a practical framework for measuring the effectiveness of teaching and learning initiatives. We will discuss key considerations for defining objectives and selecting appropriate metrics that accurately reflect the initiative's goals. The framework will be demonstrated through a real-world case study of a first-year program designed to help students explore colleges and majors. Attendees will gain a better understanding of how to design an evaluation protocol that can be adapted across different programs and initiatives, ensuring that a university's investment in innovation is both strategic and data-informed.
