This course provides environmental stewardship and education professionals with the knowledge, skills, and tools to design and implement education and outreach projects that have measurable impacts on the audience they want to reach. This interactive curriculum can help you increase the effectiveness of your projects by applying instructional design theory to their design.

    * Describe the context of project design and evaluation within the scope of agency and organization missions, strategic plans, and established program niches

   * Apply appropriate instructional design theory and practices to project development

    * Explain the role of logic models in project design and evaluatio and create logic models for their projects

    * Use performance measurement as part of project evaluation
