6.0. Project Evaluation


6.1. Tools and guidelines for conducting ongoing needs analysis

Primary initial tool for determining equity issues in RE:Academy programs:
Checklist for Equity in Mathematics and Science
    Developed by the Mid-Atlantic Center for Race Equity
    The American University
    (This instrument was inspired by G. Fauth and J. Jacobs, "Equity in Mathematics:
    The Educational Leader's Role," Educational Leadership 36 (March 1980): 485-490.)
This checklist is located at:
http://equity.enc.org/equity/eqtyres/erg/111595/1595.htm

Using user interface engineering, usability studies, accessibility studies, and HCI research

  • Define and compare HCI (Human Computer Interface) and/or user interface (UI), usability, and accessibility.
  • All of these development arenas (and theories!) are useful in the ongoing needs analysis process
  • Since all user-oriented development is geared toward individual use of online environments, feedback is immediately useful for analyzing effectiveness of the tool, per individual needs Georgia Tech Research Institute: Analysis tools. Graphics, Visualization & Usability (GVU) Center, Georgia Tech
  • http://mime1.marc.gatech.edu/mm_tools/analysis.html
  • HCI (Human Computer Interface), User Interface, and Designing the User Interface, by Ben Shneiderman
  • http://www2.awl.com/cseng/titles/0-201-69497-2/website

6.2. Current Literature

REFERENCE LIST for RE:Academy, and other appropriate documentation
It is our plan at Refuge_Earth Academy, to provide a Web page that will address current issues that relate to the school. The documentation that has been used in the Reference List for this proposal will form the initial base of current literature. This reference tool will be an open site, and available to all.

This Proposal has been created and supported by online materials

  • Given that the Web is only five years old, most documentation also has that "shelf life"
  • All offerings of RE:Academy will be state of the art, and timely
  • Addressing the issues of historical evidence, the cyberschool will also maintain a reference list to books, articles and Web sites that pertain to pedagogy, instructional design, learning theory, and other topics covering learning issues
  • Distance Learning: The Debate: RE:Academy has participated in ongoing listserv discussions, seminars, and debates on the validity of online learning offerings. These histories will be searchable in our online environment
  • Diversity: As we believe that solutions for gender-based issues can be found in the same studies and implementations concerning diversity issues, it is our intent to provide timely documentation and research choices concerning diversity 

7.0. Project Budget


7.1. Costing out the components of the job

The budget summary for the startup of Refuge_Earth:Academy is shown below. This is for the time period of January 1, 2000, through the end of August, 2000. Our goal is to have total implementation by August, so that RE:Academy can be up and running for Fall Term — or September — of 2000.

Rates and pricing
"From the perspective of the business person, how much we pay our personnel, whether they are freelancers, contractors, or full-time employees, is one of the most significant aspects of determining the cost of the projects we produce." (Frenza, JP and Szabo, M., 1996, P. 85). RE:Academy has utilized the expertise of our mentoring partners in local and global businesses, in development of the structure of both the online and physical spaces of the cyberschool. Factors concerning funding have been examined with much scrutiny, in an effort to find a fair balance between state-of-the-art skills and costs, vs. the ideology of a not-for-profit, community effort.

Planning and researching costs for the virtual offices  
and physical headquarters of RE:Academy

Because of rapid changes in technology, this must be a flexible list, with room for flexible projections.

Planning and researching costs for campus setup  
of an "Academy Work Station"

After much study with many companies, the computer components from Dell Computer Corporation offer the highest standards for the most reasonable costs. Per school campus, RE:Academy administrative staff will oversee the setup of each single Work Station.

Costs for development of the online learning environment
(the Web site) of Refuge_Earth Academy

This cost will be automatically built into the salaries of the Administrative/Professional staff. The building of the Web site is expected to take approximately six months, in the startup of the school.

Planning presentations to prospective target population campuses

  • Hardware, software, special appliances, travel and lodging costs, overtime personnel rates, and all accompanying special costs. It will not include space rental; this will be arranged through campus authorities.
  • Every Child Counts: Seeking Partners. (Boyd, L., Every Child... 1997). Budgeting and planning for Audio-Visual productions.

Costing out components
Necessary components for the administrative and studio portions of the "in-house" portion of Refuge_Earth Academy have been addressed in prior studies. This online document also addresses many related issues of the school, as well as offering resources and contacts.
