2. WORKSHOP GOALS
Seek guidance on a communitybased plan to further
cyberinfrastructure in the
geosciences
Assess needs, visions, opportunities,

21. EVALUATORS ROLES
Workshop facilitation
Meeting observation and periodic
interventions (some built into the agenda and
some in “real time” to respond to emergent
dynamics) to ask questions that will generate
reflection and learning on governance
Targeted facilitation support for the chartering
of the new forums after the workshop
23. DEVELOPMENTAL
EVALUATION
“learn as you go”
Real-time feedback
Ongoing interaction between project staff,
evaluators, and participants (‘strategic
learning’)
24. DEVELOPMENTAL EVALUATION
Three pillars:
1) Learning - “The systematic use of data for
continuous improvement and the collective
interpretation of new information”
2) Being Strategic - “Applying the collective
interpretation of information to strategy”
3) Applied Research - “Utilizing theory and research
to ground both strategy and learning in a broader
context”
