SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION


1.1. Introduction

Within the project plan the objective of WP3 is to ensure that project outputs are of
acceptable quality, to manage project risks and to assess the overall impact of the
project.


The core objectives of the EMPATIC project are to:
   •   draw together and valorise the results of previous Information Literacy
       initiatives and projects across the school, university, adult and vocational
       learning sectors;
   •   use this evidence to influence policy makers’ perceptions and actions to support
       a marked increase in piloting and mainstreaming of Information Literacy;
   •   have a significant impact on validating new learning paradigms and strategic
       thinking on curriculum reform.


The major outputs of the project will be:
   •   A state of the art report on Information Literacy covering: the role information
       literacy plays within respect to lifelong learning; definitions of information
       learning; a summary of frameworks addressing information literacy and data on
       the projects in the information literacy domain supported by the European
       Union between 1994–2010. Section 3 of the report synthesizes the point of
       view taken by the Empatic project which identifies three dimensions of
       Information Literacy: Information Literacy as a discipline of study; as a social
       objective; and as a cognitive acquisition of individuals. This theoretical
       background sets the scene for the subsequent work on the policy
       recommendations.
   •   A report outlining strategic models for Information Literacy which suggests a
       conceptual, generic and tentative framework for the strategy/strategic model of
       Information Literacy development. It is not a model of Information Literacy
       itself, but a strategy for Information Literacy development.
   •   A Report detailing 20 illustrative case approaches pertaining to the 4 sectors:
       schools, Higher Education; adult education and vocational training (5 for each
       sector).
   •   A series of 4, one day, workshops - one for each sector, to validate the models
       through round-table discussion and to which leading European experts are
       invited.
   •   4 structured online report on Information Literacy models and case approach
       trials, one for each sector, validating or modifying the findings to date by
       means of expert input from a) active policy makers and other key stakeholders
       and b) expert practitioners in the field.
   •   A series of illustrative good practice case studies of Information Literacy in
       action at each level (schools, higher education, adult education and vocational
       training) with links to key IL resources across Europe which will be used to
       support the exploitation and dissemination strategies.
                                                                                     4
•   An interactive web environment will provide state-of -the art support for the
       whole range of EMPATIC’s dissemination and information activities. It will be
       underpinned by a stakeholder distribution database, chiefly drawn from the
       policy making community.
   •   An advocacy framework covering: planning, explanations of the various
       advocacy methods and materials available, information about their deployment
       and use, together with an illustrative range of advocacy materials which
       campaigners can customise and build on, aimed at policy makers.
   •   A Strategy and set of Recommendations setting out ways and means to
       improve the spread and level of Information Literacy at both transversal level
       and across the four sectors; and proposing a future means of stakeholder
       community ownership and maintenance of the portal environment. The
       Declaration from the Final Policy Conference will be added after the conference.
   •   Final policy conference, for up to 150 policy makers and representatives of
       national and international associations representing the four learning sectors
       and also IL.

1.2. Quality of project outputs

TKD will be responsible for assuring the quality of project outputs by putting in place
and implementing appropriate peer review mechanisms, using the project’s
‘basecamp’ file sharing and communications facility. Working with MDR, the co-
ordinator, it will also ensure that any modifications to the nature or timing of
deliverables are agreed by the PMB and reported to the Agency.

1.3 Risk management

Continuous monitoring and management of the risks faced by the project is essential
for project success. Potential risk factors can include both internal factors (e.g. lack of
commitment, poorly defined goals; resource problems, delays,                  personal or
professional issues) and external factors (e.g. lack of target group willingness or
capacity to cooperate, lack of interest of policy-makers, lack of knowledge in some
countries about information literacy and its positive impact). TKD have drawn up a
risk management framework which covers: risk identification; risk quantification; risk
response; and risk monitoring and control. TKD will use this to actively monitor and
manage project risks throughout the project.

1.4 Impact assessment

TKD, supported by MDR, have developed a clear set of criteria, measurements and
data collection tools for evaluating the impact of the work and outcomes of the
project. A mixture of quantitative and qualitative approaches have been used. The
focus is on measuring, at various stages, the impact of the project’s work on policy
makers, their interest in and attitudes towards information literacy, and any changes
in their behaviour and actions as a result of the sequence of interventions by the
project. This involves the identification of sample and control groups of policy makers
whose responses can be tracked or surveyed throughout the timeframe of EMPATIC.




                                                                                         5
SECTION 2: QUALITY OF PROJECT OUTPUTS


2.1 General principles

In order to ensure the quality of the outputs in the project, all deliverables are subject
to a quality assessment review prior to finalisation. Each deliverable, as it nears
completion, is made available to the other partners for comment, adjustment and
improvement if necessary. TKD is responsible for ensuring that all deliverables go
through such a quality management review process. Working with MDR it will also
ensure that any modifications to the nature or timing of deliverables are agreed by
the Project Management Board and notified to the agency.


The overall quality management of the project and its outputs is ensured through two
main mechanisms:
   1. the proactive participation of all partners in the regular project management
      meetings;
   2. the day to day co-operation and support partners give each other in ongoing
      work, often remotely. This ongoing dialogue and co-operation is facilitated and
      supported by the collaborative file sharing and communication system
      (basecamp) which has been established for the project 	
  

   2.2    Preparation of documents

   A template has been created for project deliverables which complies with EACEA
   requirements for project reporting. All project reports are presented in this format.


   Each document:
      •   is presented in Verdana font (minimum size 11)
      •   has a title page which carries the logos of both EMPATIC and the EACEA, as
          well as the lifelong learning programme, the project name and agreement
          number, the deliverable number (where appropriate), and the title
      •   has a description of the status and provenance of the document
      •   an executive summary
      •   an clickable contents page
      •   and where appropriate:
             o   a selected bibliography
             o   references
             o   list of figures
             o   list of graphs
             o   list of tables
             o   list of abbreviations
             o   etc


                                                                                        6
All documents will be written in English, some will be translated during the project
   – as stipulated in the work plan. Wherever possible all deliverables will be
   presented to the Agency in pdf format (with paper copy as required).

2.3 Activities and processes

The partners will carry out a simple self assessment exercise of the activities and
processes at least twice during the course of the project. The results of the first self-
assessment exercise are summarised in the table below:

2.4 Website and distribution facilities


The official website of the project is available at http://empat-ic.eu/eng/


It has been developed using the EzPublish open source content management system.
It is in English and the top level pages of the site will be translated into Turkish
(completed), Polish (part), Italian and Greek (shortly).


The site provides information about the project, the partners, the main activities and
links to events (the Validation Workshops and later the Final Conference).


As the first year of the project has been largely preparatory usage of the site is slight
to date, but this will change as the project enters its second year. Registration for the
4 validation workshops for example will be via the site and will drive awareness and
traffic.


Usage and referral statistics are presented below:




2.5 Project work plan

The project has a number of work packages:

SECTION 3: RISK MANAGEMENT


3.1 Introduction

Continuous monitoring and management of the risks faced by the project is essential
for project success. Potential risk factors can include both internal factors (e.g. lack of
commitment, poorly defined goals; resource problems, delays,                 personal or
professional issues) and external factors (e.g. lack of target group willingness or
capacity to cooperate, lack of interest of policy-makers, lack of knowledge in some
countries about information literacy and its positive impact).
TKD have compiled a risk management framework which covers: risk identification;
risk quantification; risk response; and risk monitoring and control. They use this to
actively monitor and manage project risks throughout the project. Using the
framework the partners have identified a number of real and potential threats to a
successful project outcome and determined the activities required to minimise or
eliminate them.

3.2 Risk Quantification

Partners identified a number of actual or potential risks and quantified using the
following Summary Risk Profile (or probability/impact matrix):


                    Risk                    Likelihood            Impact
1     Alterations to timing         of     Med                    Low
      activities or deliverables
2     Unexpected costs arise or            Low                    Med
      cost overspends
3     Conflicts between partners           Low                    Med
4     Project approach found to            Low                    High
      be unsuitable
5     Required             information     Low                    Med
      unavailable
6     Project resources not good           Low                    Med
      quality/suitable
7     Difficulty involving policy          High                   Med
      makers and stakeholders
8     Project has limited visibility       Low                    Med



3.3 Risk response/monitoring

For each risk identified above TKD has identified the following actions, designed to
either eliminate or mitigate the risk:


    1. Timing of project activities and delivery of outputs to be monitored on an
       ongoing basis by the project managers (MDR) and any significant or required
                                                                                        10
deviations discussed and re-planned if necessary by project partners, preferably
   at PMB meetings but if necessary by email.
2. MDR will provide all partners with copies of the Grant Agreement and other
   guidance from the Agency, MDR will seek to ensure that all partners understand
   the cost ‘rules’ and will also ensure that all partners adhere to this when
   submitting cost claims.
3. Project management activities, decision making processes and procedures for
   dealing with any conflict are clearly articulated in the work plan:
      •   MDR will be responsible for co-ordinating the project’s work and
          monitoring progress in order to achieve successful delivery of the
          expected results and the accomplishment of the objectives, on time and
          to budget, including:.
             o activity planning and day to day management of the project, its
               communication and its activities
             o supervising    the   project’s   management     and   decision-making
               procedures
             o communication with and reporting to the Agency in compliance
               with its requirements
             o effective management of the project’s finances and payment
               procedure
             o organising Project Management Board (PMB) and kick-off meetings
      •   Project decisions will be taken by the PMB, consisting of all partners, with
          secretariat support provided by MDR. The PMB will meet on at least five
          occasions during the project, where possible in conjunction with other
          project events in order to minimise costs. . Telephone conferencing will
          be used where interim decision making or problem solving is needed. The
          PMB will be responsible for making all strategic decisions regarding the
          project. Decisions of the PMB will be made by a majority vote (in case of
          a tie, the Co-ordinator will have the casting vote). All PMB Meetings will
          be notified at least 2 weeks in advance and will be formally minuted. A
          lead partner is clearly indicated for each individual workpackage and will
          be responsible for achieving the intended results in that workpackage,
          reporting to the PMB.
      •    In the event of a conflict arising between any of the partners, MDR will
          attempt to negotiate a resolution within the limits imposed by the
          contract and will inform the PMB and where necessary the Project Officer
          at the Agency of the of the situation. If negotiation fails, the matter will
          be referred to the PMB for a simple majority decision on the action to be
          taken. The decision of the PMB will be binding for all partners.
4. PMB will meet regularly and any failings or difficulties with the project approach
   will be discussed. Ways to overcome the difficulty will be identified and if
   necessary alternative methods will be devised and adopted to achieve the
   required result.
5. This applies particularly to the initial desk research phase. CERIS as WP leader
   and the other partners have considerable prior knowledge and expertise in this
   area so the risk is anticipated to be low. However, should it be the case that
   particular reports or details are unavailable to the project for some reason,
   assistance will be sought from the Agency to encourage the organisation
   involved to be more open about the information.
                                                                                   11
6. Quality of project outputs will be assured by the processes outlined in Section 2
   above.
7. The partners anticipate that it might be difficult to engage policy makers and
   other stakeholders. For this reason there are already built into the workplan a
   number of strategies to help minimise this problem. For example, the project
   will devote considerable effort and attention to producung case study and
   advocay materials that Information Literacy (IL) campaigners, activists and
   practioners can use in various circumstances to to engage and influence policy
   makers and decision makers. In addition activities such as the Final Conference
   and the prior circulation and consultation about the projects recommendations
   will specifically target policy makers and other influential stakeholders. These
   activities will be monitored by TKD and also discussed at the regular PMB
   meetings as well as virtually as required to ensure they are as effective as
   possible.
8. The workplan includes four work packages (4,5,6 and 7) which focus on
   exploitation and a number of activities designed to ensure that the project has
   both impact and credibility are included in the plan. Exploitation begins with
   WP4 with the production of strategic models, standards and performance
   measures and illustrative case approaches which are then validated in
   workshops and 'road-tested' in real world trials in WP5. The learning and new
   information acquired from these will be applied in WP6 when advocacy
   materials are created and finalised case studies produced. These will be
   published on the project website and, following a consultation period they will
   be presented at the Final policy conference along with a set of
   recommendations designed to stimulate action and emulation of good practice
   at national and sector levels. EMPATIC aims to ensure optimal use of results
   beyond the project by achieving sustainability for its web portal. These
   activities will be monitored by TKD and also discussed at the regular PMB
   meetings as well as virtually as required to ensure they are as effective as
   possible.




                                                                                 12
SECTION 4: IMPACT ASSESSMENT




4.1 Introduction

In the project work plan we state that:
            TKD, supported by MDR, will develop a clear set of criteria, measurements and
            data collection tools for evaluating the impact of the work and outcomes of the
            project. A mixture of quantitative and qualitative approaches will be used. The
            focus will be on measuring, at various stages, the impact of the project’s work
            on policy makers, their interest in and attitudes towards information literacy,
            and any changes in their behaviour and actions as a result of the sequence of
            interventions by the project. This is likely to involve the identification of sample
            and control groups of policy makers whose responses can be tracked or
            surveyed throughout the timeframe of EMPATIC.

4.2 Impact on policy makers

However, during discussions around the planning and creation of this document it
became clear that the main tools and processes which the project expects to influence
the policy makers (the advocacy materials and recommendations) will not be available
until near the end of the project – and will not in fact be presented to policy makers
on a wide scale until the final policy conference which takes in the penultimate month
of the project. Therefore it is difficult to see how we might reasonably assess the
impact on policy makers in any quantitative way.


What we can and will do is begin to engage with policy makers and other influential
stakeholders at each of the 4 sectoral workshops taking place in early summer 2011.
Each workshop will involve up to 30 invited policy makers and other expert
stakeholders (including researchers and representatives from the learning/teaching
professions) to discuss and further define major issues against a backdrop of the
EMPATIC findings to date. The organisers will seek to ensure that participation is
regionally and otherwise representative of different policy environments across the
EU. The mode of the workshops will be open and highly interactive but will start with a
summative presentation of EMPATIC's work and results to date. The results of theses
workshops will be presented in 4 separate reports (one for each sector) detailing the
outcomes and showing how the case study materials were either validated or modified
as a result of input from policy makers and experts. These reports will be available in
September 2011. The learning and new information acquired from these workshops
will be applied during WP6 to the creation of advocacy materials and the production of
modified and finalised case studies.


Attendees at the workshops will be asked to complete a short questionnaire (to be
devised nearer the time) but it might include questions about, for example:


Were	
   you	
   aware	
   of	
   the	
   best	
   	
  
practices	
  included	
  into	
  the	
  report?	
  
                                                                                             13
Can

  If	
  yes,	
  how?	
  
Are	
   there	
   any	
   techniques,	
   	
  
methods	
   which	
   you	
   felt	
   would	
   be	
  
particularly	
  useful?

in	
  any	
  specific	
  area?

   do	
   you	
   think	
   we	
   might	
   best	
   	
  
encourage	
   the	
   inclusion	
   of

What	
   are	
   the	
   main	
   barriers	
   that	
   	
  
prevent	
   Information	
   Literacy	
   skills

   at	
   the

Etc	
                                                          	
  


The Final Policy Conference will also provide a platform at which the project’s outputs,
including the Recommendations and the Exploitation Strategy (which will set out the
ways and means to improve the spread and level of Information Literacy) will be
disseminated and where we can promote their exploitation and wider take up.

4.3 Project indicators

In addition we will monitor:
          •   Number              of    relevant case studies introduced
          •   Number              of    registered stakeholders
          •   Number              of    best practices collected
          •   Number              of    EMPATIC presentations on various events




                                                                                     14

  • 4. SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1. Introduction Within the project plan the objective of WP3 is to ensure that project outputs are of acceptable quality, to manage project risks and to assess the overall impact of the project. The core objectives of the EMPATIC project are to: • draw together and valorise the results of previous Information Literacy initiatives and projects across the school, university, adult and vocational learning sectors; • use this evidence to influence policy makers’ perceptions and actions to support a marked increase in piloting and mainstreaming of Information Literacy; • have a significant impact on validating new learning paradigms and strategic thinking on curriculum reform. The major outputs of the project will be: • A state of the art report on Information Literacy covering: the role information literacy plays within respect to lifelong learning; definitions of information learning; a summary of frameworks addressing information literacy and data on the projects in the information literacy domain supported by the European Union between 1994–2010. Section 3 of the report synthesizes the point of view taken by the Empatic project which identifies three dimensions of Information Literacy: Information Literacy as a discipline of study; as a social objective; and as a cognitive acquisition of individuals. This theoretical background sets the scene for the subsequent work on the policy recommendations. • A report outlining strategic models for Information Literacy which suggests a conceptual, generic and tentative framework for the strategy/strategic model of Information Literacy development. It is not a model of Information Literacy itself, but a strategy for Information Literacy development. • A Report detailing 20 illustrative case approaches pertaining to the 4 sectors: schools, Higher Education; adult education and vocational training (5 for each sector). • A series of 4, one day, workshops - one for each sector, to validate the models through round-table discussion and to which leading European experts are invited. • 4 structured online report on Information Literacy models and case approach trials, one for each sector, validating or modifying the findings to date by means of expert input from a) active policy makers and other key stakeholders and b) expert practitioners in the field. • A series of illustrative good practice case studies of Information Literacy in action at each level (schools, higher education, adult education and vocational training) with links to key IL resources across Europe which will be used to support the exploitation and dissemination strategies. 4
  • 5. An interactive web environment will provide state-of -the art support for the whole range of EMPATIC’s dissemination and information activities. It will be underpinned by a stakeholder distribution database, chiefly drawn from the policy making community. • An advocacy framework covering: planning, explanations of the various advocacy methods and materials available, information about their deployment and use, together with an illustrative range of advocacy materials which campaigners can customise and build on, aimed at policy makers. • A Strategy and set of Recommendations setting out ways and means to improve the spread and level of Information Literacy at both transversal level and across the four sectors; and proposing a future means of stakeholder community ownership and maintenance of the portal environment. The Declaration from the Final Policy Conference will be added after the conference. • Final policy conference, for up to 150 policy makers and representatives of national and international associations representing the four learning sectors and also IL. 1.2. Quality of project outputs TKD will be responsible for assuring the quality of project outputs by putting in place and implementing appropriate peer review mechanisms, using the project’s ‘basecamp’ file sharing and communications facility. Working with MDR, the co- ordinator, it will also ensure that any modifications to the nature or timing of deliverables are agreed by the PMB and reported to the Agency. 1.3 Risk management Continuous monitoring and management of the risks faced by the project is essential for project success. Potential risk factors can include both internal factors (e.g. lack of commitment, poorly defined goals; resource problems, delays, personal or professional issues) and external factors (e.g. lack of target group willingness or capacity to cooperate, lack of interest of policy-makers, lack of knowledge in some countries about information literacy and its positive impact). TKD have drawn up a risk management framework which covers: risk identification; risk quantification; risk response; and risk monitoring and control. TKD will use this to actively monitor and manage project risks throughout the project. 1.4 Impact assessment TKD, supported by MDR, have developed a clear set of criteria, measurements and data collection tools for evaluating the impact of the work and outcomes of the project. A mixture of quantitative and qualitative approaches have been used. The focus is on measuring, at various stages, the impact of the project’s work on policy makers, their interest in and attitudes towards information literacy, and any changes in their behaviour and actions as a result of the sequence of interventions by the project. This involves the identification of sample and control groups of policy makers whose responses can be tracked or surveyed throughout the timeframe of EMPATIC. 5
  • 6. SECTION 2: QUALITY OF PROJECT OUTPUTS 2.1 General principles In order to ensure the quality of the outputs in the project, all deliverables are subject to a quality assessment review prior to finalisation. Each deliverable, as it nears completion, is made available to the other partners for comment, adjustment and improvement if necessary. TKD is responsible for ensuring that all deliverables go through such a quality management review process. Working with MDR it will also ensure that any modifications to the nature or timing of deliverables are agreed by the Project Management Board and notified to the agency. The overall quality management of the project and its outputs is ensured through two main mechanisms: 1. the proactive participation of all partners in the regular project management meetings; 2. the day to day co-operation and support partners give each other in ongoing work, often remotely. This ongoing dialogue and co-operation is facilitated and supported by the collaborative file sharing and communication system (basecamp) which has been established for the project   2.2 Preparation of documents A template has been created for project deliverables which complies with EACEA requirements for project reporting. All project reports are presented in this format. Each document: • is presented in Verdana font (minimum size 11) • has a title page which carries the logos of both EMPATIC and the EACEA, as well as the lifelong learning programme, the project name and agreement number, the deliverable number (where appropriate), and the title • has a description of the status and provenance of the document • an executive summary • an clickable contents page • and where appropriate: o a selected bibliography o references o list of figures o list of graphs o list of tables o list of abbreviations o etc 6
  • 7. All documents will be written in English, some will be translated during the project – as stipulated in the work plan. Wherever possible all deliverables will be presented to the Agency in pdf format (with paper copy as required). 2.3 Activities and processes The partners will carry out a simple self assessment exercise of the activities and processes at least twice during the course of the project. The results of the first self- assessment exercise are summarised in the table below: Activity Actions and assessment (Completed/satisfactory, Needs improvement (what), Delayed (why/new date), Other Communication Satisfactory with the EC Communication Other – the work of the first year is necessarily largely with the preparatory (creating the initial materials). stakeholders Communication largely kicks off in second year. Internal Satisfactory – basecamp established and well used communication within the project team General quality Satisfactory management according to the general principles Setup of the Satisfactory – some tasks re-scheduled at PMB meeting project team and in June 2010 planning, distribution of tasks Responsibilities of Satisfactory – partners are clear about their roles and project team responsibilities members are clear Regular reviews Satisfactory – regular online communication and 3 PMB and meetings of meetings held the project team members Quality assurance Satisfactory – has taken place either face-to-face during of deliverables meetings or electronically Document Satisfactory – basecamp and website successfully 7
  • 8. exchange internally established and externally Timely delivery of Satisfactory – project schedule and timing of some tasks and deliverables adjusted as workloads involved became deliverables as clearer at June PMB meeting according to the work plan Official reporting Needs improvement – slightly late at end of first period (with regard to LLP Standard) 2.4 Website and distribution facilities The official website of the project is available at http://empat-ic.eu/eng/ It has been developed using the EzPublish open source content management system. It is in English and the top level pages of the site will be translated into Turkish (completed), Polish (part), Italian and Greek (shortly). The site provides information about the project, the partners, the main activities and links to events (the Validation Workshops and later the Final Conference). As the first year of the project has been largely preparatory usage of the site is slight to date, but this will change as the project enters its second year. Registration for the 4 validation workshops for example will be via the site and will drive awareness and traffic. Usage and referral statistics are presented below: 2.5 Project work plan The project has a number of work packages: 8

  • 10. SECTION 3: RISK MANAGEMENT 3.1 Introduction Continuous monitoring and management of the risks faced by the project is essential for project success. Potential risk factors can include both internal factors (e.g. lack of commitment, poorly defined goals; resource problems, delays, personal or professional issues) and external factors (e.g. lack of target group willingness or capacity to cooperate, lack of interest of policy-makers, lack of knowledge in some countries about information literacy and its positive impact). TKD have compiled a risk management framework which covers: risk identification; risk quantification; risk response; and risk monitoring and control. They use this to actively monitor and manage project risks throughout the project. Using the framework the partners have identified a number of real and potential threats to a successful project outcome and determined the activities required to minimise or eliminate them. 3.2 Risk Quantification Partners identified a number of actual or potential risks and quantified using the following Summary Risk Profile (or probability/impact matrix): Risk Likelihood Impact 1 Alterations to timing of Med Low activities or deliverables 2 Unexpected costs arise or Low Med cost overspends 3 Conflicts between partners Low Med 4 Project approach found to Low High be unsuitable 5 Required information Low Med unavailable 6 Project resources not good Low Med quality/suitable 7 Difficulty involving policy High Med makers and stakeholders 8 Project has limited visibility Low Med 3.3 Risk response/monitoring For each risk identified above TKD has identified the following actions, designed to either eliminate or mitigate the risk: 1. Timing of project activities and delivery of outputs to be monitored on an ongoing basis by the project managers (MDR) and any significant or required 10
  • 11. deviations discussed and re-planned if necessary by project partners, preferably at PMB meetings but if necessary by email. 2. MDR will provide all partners with copies of the Grant Agreement and other guidance from the Agency, MDR will seek to ensure that all partners understand the cost ‘rules’ and will also ensure that all partners adhere to this when submitting cost claims. 3. Project management activities, decision making processes and procedures for dealing with any conflict are clearly articulated in the work plan: • MDR will be responsible for co-ordinating the project’s work and monitoring progress in order to achieve successful delivery of the expected results and the accomplishment of the objectives, on time and to budget, including:. o activity planning and day to day management of the project, its communication and its activities o supervising the project’s management and decision-making procedures o communication with and reporting to the Agency in compliance with its requirements o effective management of the project’s finances and payment procedure o organising Project Management Board (PMB) and kick-off meetings • Project decisions will be taken by the PMB, consisting of all partners, with secretariat support provided by MDR. The PMB will meet on at least five occasions during the project, where possible in conjunction with other project events in order to minimise costs. . Telephone conferencing will be used where interim decision making or problem solving is needed. The PMB will be responsible for making all strategic decisions regarding the project. Decisions of the PMB will be made by a majority vote (in case of a tie, the Co-ordinator will have the casting vote). All PMB Meetings will be notified at least 2 weeks in advance and will be formally minuted. A lead partner is clearly indicated for each individual workpackage and will be responsible for achieving the intended results in that workpackage, reporting to the PMB. • In the event of a conflict arising between any of the partners, MDR will attempt to negotiate a resolution within the limits imposed by the contract and will inform the PMB and where necessary the Project Officer at the Agency of the of the situation. If negotiation fails, the matter will be referred to the PMB for a simple majority decision on the action to be taken. The decision of the PMB will be binding for all partners. 4. PMB will meet regularly and any failings or difficulties with the project approach will be discussed. Ways to overcome the difficulty will be identified and if necessary alternative methods will be devised and adopted to achieve the required result. 5. This applies particularly to the initial desk research phase. CERIS as WP leader and the other partners have considerable prior knowledge and expertise in this area so the risk is anticipated to be low. However, should it be the case that particular reports or details are unavailable to the project for some reason, assistance will be sought from the Agency to encourage the organisation involved to be more open about the information. 11
  • 12. 6. Quality of project outputs will be assured by the processes outlined in Section 2 above. 7. The partners anticipate that it might be difficult to engage policy makers and other stakeholders. For this reason there are already built into the workplan a number of strategies to help minimise this problem. For example, the project will devote considerable effort and attention to producung case study and advocay materials that Information Literacy (IL) campaigners, activists and practioners can use in various circumstances to to engage and influence policy makers and decision makers. In addition activities such as the Final Conference and the prior circulation and consultation about the projects recommendations will specifically target policy makers and other influential stakeholders. These activities will be monitored by TKD and also discussed at the regular PMB meetings as well as virtually as required to ensure they are as effective as possible. 8. The workplan includes four work packages (4,5,6 and 7) which focus on exploitation and a number of activities designed to ensure that the project has both impact and credibility are included in the plan. Exploitation begins with WP4 with the production of strategic models, standards and performance measures and illustrative case approaches which are then validated in workshops and 'road-tested' in real world trials in WP5. The learning and new information acquired from these will be applied in WP6 when advocacy materials are created and finalised case studies produced. These will be published on the project website and, following a consultation period they will be presented at the Final policy conference along with a set of recommendations designed to stimulate action and emulation of good practice at national and sector levels. EMPATIC aims to ensure optimal use of results beyond the project by achieving sustainability for its web portal. These activities will be monitored by TKD and also discussed at the regular PMB meetings as well as virtually as required to ensure they are as effective as possible. 12
  • 13. SECTION 4: IMPACT ASSESSMENT 4.1 Introduction In the project work plan we state that: TKD, supported by MDR, will develop a clear set of criteria, measurements and data collection tools for evaluating the impact of the work and outcomes of the project. A mixture of quantitative and qualitative approaches will be used. The focus will be on measuring, at various stages, the impact of the project’s work on policy makers, their interest in and attitudes towards information literacy, and any changes in their behaviour and actions as a result of the sequence of interventions by the project. This is likely to involve the identification of sample and control groups of policy makers whose responses can be tracked or surveyed throughout the timeframe of EMPATIC. 4.2 Impact on policy makers However, during discussions around the planning and creation of this document it became clear that the main tools and processes which the project expects to influence the policy makers (the advocacy materials and recommendations) will not be available until near the end of the project – and will not in fact be presented to policy makers on a wide scale until the final policy conference which takes in the penultimate month of the project. Therefore it is difficult to see how we might reasonably assess the impact on policy makers in any quantitative way. What we can and will do is begin to engage with policy makers and other influential stakeholders at each of the 4 sectoral workshops taking place in early summer 2011. Each workshop will involve up to 30 invited policy makers and other expert stakeholders (including researchers and representatives from the learning/teaching professions) to discuss and further define major issues against a backdrop of the EMPATIC findings to date. The organisers will seek to ensure that participation is regionally and otherwise representative of different policy environments across the EU. The mode of the workshops will be open and highly interactive but will start with a summative presentation of EMPATIC's work and results to date. The results of theses workshops will be presented in 4 separate reports (one for each sector) detailing the outcomes and showing how the case study materials were either validated or modified as a result of input from policy makers and experts. These reports will be available in September 2011. The learning and new information acquired from these workshops will be applied during WP6 to the creation of advocacy materials and the production of modified and finalised case studies. Attendees at the workshops will be asked to complete a short questionnaire (to be devised nearer the time) but it might include questions about, for example: Were   you   aware   of   the   best     practices  included  into  the  report?   13
  • 14. Can   you   use   the   information     included   into   the   report   in   your   work?  If  yes,  how?   Are   there   any   techniques,     methods   which   you   felt   would   be   particularly  useful?   Do   you   feel   that   the   report   has     gaps   or   need   further   investigation   in  any  specific  area?   How   do   you   think   we   might   best     encourage   the   inclusion   of   Information   Literacy   classes   in   the   curriculum   What   are   the   main   barriers   that     prevent   Information   Literacy   skills   being   widely   taught   at   the   moment   Etc     The Final Policy Conference will also provide a platform at which the project’s outputs, including the Recommendations and the Exploitation Strategy (which will set out the ways and means to improve the spread and level of Information Literacy) will be disseminated and where we can promote their exploitation and wider take up. 4.3 Project indicators In addition we will monitor: • Number of relevant case studies introduced • Number of registered stakeholders • Number of best practices collected • Number of EMPATIC presentations on various events 14
