tips for using new ways to present
evaluation findings
1. Thought needs to be given before the evaluation commences
2. Many tools can be made simply but a budget is often required
3. Once key findings are finalised thought needs to go into what points will be communicated
4. The tool(s) you use will largely depend upon the level of interactivity desired
