Overview

EduLinked’s Monitoring & Evaluation service helps programs show what works and why. We build lightweight frameworks, simple dashboards and plain reports that funders, partners and communities can understand and act on.

Who this is for

Funders, program managers, councils, libraries and education partners that need measurable, accessible reporting and evaluation for pilots, grants and ongoing programs.

Services we deliver

  • KPI & indicator design: focus on useful, measurable indicators tailored to program goals.
  • Data collection: simple digital forms, light surveys and observation templates.
  • Dashboards: accessible dashboards for program managers and funders (Power BI / simple web dashboards).
  • Evaluation design: outcome frameworks, evaluation plans and short mixed-method reports.
  • Accessible reporting: plain-language summaries, Easy Read one-pagers and Auslan-ready script outlines.
  • Capacity building: short training for staff to collect and use data ethically and effectively.

Our approach

We favour pragmatic, proportionate M&E: design the smallest set of indicators that tell you whether the program is working, gather reliable data simply, and present clear findings that lead to action.

  • Co-design indicators: work with stakeholders to define meaningful KPIs.
  • Ethical data: collection protocols and consent for participants.
  • Accessible outputs: Easy Read reports and short one-pagers for non-technical audiences.
  • Dashboards & exports: dashboards for managers and exportable evidence packages for funders.
