Detailed explanation of ALL student and teacher engagement with the unit:
Module-level outcomes addressed:
Unit 7 addresses Module-level outcome 2 which requires you to conduct the M&E of a given project.
Purpose of the unit/week/section:
This unit will help you acquire the skills needed to conduct baseline surveys. The unit follows on Unit 6 by using the indicators you created and will contribute to your final M&E project report.
Over to you: (a description of the process of the section)
1. In this unit, you will learn about conducting a baseline survey as part of the M&E process by first reading article R7.1 which explains the meaning and importance of baseline surveys as well as how to create a survey tool.
2. It also outlines the process of conducting baseline surveys.
3. You will use what you learn from R7.1 to design your own draft survey tool for your project.
4. Your draft tool will be refined through the feedback from your tutor before you carry out a pilot to refine your tool further.
5. You will seek approval for your final revised tool which you will then use to conduct a full baseline survey for your project. The survey report will be assessed as A7.1 and presented to the class.
Pre-topic activity: | Number of hours | 0.25
E7.1 (individual)

1. Read the article called Conducting Baseline Surveys R7.1.
2. Use the article to draft your own baseline survey tool based on the indicators you made in Unit 6.
3. Submit your tool as ‘E7.1 Survey Tool Draft One’ for feedback from the e-moderator
Face to face time: (if applicable) | Number of hours | 1.5
1. You will need to first complete all the online activities (below) before making a face-to-face presentation to your classmates.
2. Because of time, your tutor will select only some presentations.
3. If you are not selected, submit a video presentation on the VLE for feedback.
4. Your presentation will summarize your report from the baseline survey.
5. The face-to-face session will include your 15-minute presentation, getting feedback from classmates, listening to other classmates, and giving valuable feedback to them.
Online activity: | Number of hours | 1.25
What should students do?
E7.2 (individual then class)

1. Make revisions to your survey tool using feedback obtained after E7.1.
2. Use the final tool to conduct a baseline survey for your project.
3. Analyse the data and write a baseline survey report.
4. From your report, make a 15-minute class presentation (if you are not selected to present in class, submit a video on the VLE.
5. Use the feedback from the presentation to make a final report and submit it as Assessment A7.1
Where do they do it? | On the VLE
By when should they do it? | E7.2: 2 days before the next face-to-face
E-moderator/tutor role
The e-moderator will provide guidance, read, and comment on students’ work and grade assessment. The e-moderator should ensure the learners do not spend too much time on the pilot and survey.
How are the learning outcomes in this unit assessed? | Number of hours | The hours have been covered in the E-tivity section
The learning outcome will be assessed through A7.1:

1. You will submit a report from your baseline survey which includes data analysis and conclusions.
2. Include in your annex copies of the various versions of the tool, and other explanations and feedback.
3. Your survey report (excluding annexes, tables, and diagrams, should not exceed 1500 words.
How does this section link to other sections of the module?
This unit sets the stage for the rest of the units in this module by giving you the baseline information you will need for the remaining M&E process in your project.
