Learning and Evaluation/Archive/Share Space/Overview Logic Model/GLAM content donations


Logit Model: GLAM

In the logic model tables you will find within each of the program logic model links you will also find a number, or question mark within parentheses next to each logic model/theory of change component listed. The number refers to the mean (numeric average) rating of the perceived difficulty in measuring that component in cases where you were able to rate those with sticky dots in Budapest. The Numeric scale is: 1 = Relatively Easy - you would likely be ready to move forward with a strategy 2 = Somewhat Difficult - you may need help devising a strategy if you wanted to capture/measure the component 3 = Difficult – you find the component tricky to measure and would definitely need assisted devising a strategy if you wanted to capture/measure the component Program Name: GLAM Content Donations

Theory of Change Vision: GLAM content donations aim to improve the quality and coverage of Wikimedia Commons with existing material and enabling its dissemination.

Theory of Change Concepts: Quality = High resolution metadata Coverage = Filling gaps
