Survey
[Note: all material that appears on this page was covered on Day 1 along with the overview of DPMI Technologies.]
Deliverables for this week include the following:
1 Results Framework for a project that is appropriate to your assigned country.
1 set of indicator sheets (partially completed per instructions) to accompany your Results Framework
1 Logical Framework Matrix for a project that is appropriate to your assigned country
1 CMap Tools depiction of the key aspects of development
Deliverables should be presented in your own individual Zoho Notebook.
Sign up for a Zoho Notebook account here.
View an instructional video on how to use Zoho Notebook on YouTube. You can also read an interesting article on Zoho Notebook (and see an abbreviated version of the video) at TechCrunch. Another interesting (but lengthy) presentation on Notebook and other Zoho Suite resources can be viewed at this site.
Once you have signed up for your Zoho Notebook account, please be sure to make access to it public. Go to the Zoho Notebook page in
this wiki, and share the URL of your notebook. This will help us create
a truly collaborative learning community. Be sure to save the wiki
page after you've entered your information.
The pages in your
Notebook need not be uniquely your work. When you are working on team
projects (e.g., the Logical Framework Matrix or the Results Framework),
you may present the work you did with other team members. You are,
however, free to improve or enhance the group's product so that you
have a portfolio of which you can be extremely proud.
