Work package: Formative and Summative Evaluation
BCE programme (initial 3 year period) evaluation comprising three phases. The purpose is to assess the effectiveness and impact of the 2008-11 investment at programme level, and inform future JISC BCE strategy and plans.
Work will include: peer assessment within and across stakeholder groups and BCE-ICT community of practice; development of BCE-ICT integration indicators; self-assessment of impact built into projects; independent evaluation from international partners and specialist consultants. The work will include analysis of institutional strategic plans related to BCE to determine the extent to which the JISC BCE programme is contributing to these plans.

Phase 0 project: Analysis and synthesis of Institutional strategic plans
The objective is to analyse and synthesise the prevailing institutional policy-driven strategic landscape around BCE, and to delineate the cross-sector institutional strategic context for BCE, within which the interventions of the JISC BCE programme can be positioned. The analysis will ascertain:
- the extent to which the different aspects of Business and Community Engagement (e.g. knowledge transfer, employer engagement, public engagement, community engagement, cultural engagement, lifelong learning) are strategically integrated in institutions;
- the extent to which these aspects are strategically connected to the institutional information management strategies
