Title: Detailed explanation of ALL student and teacher engagement with the unit
Course: Monitoring and Evaluation > Section: Unit 2

A detailed explanation of ALL student and teacher engagement with the unit:
Module-level outcomes addressed:
Unit 2 addresses module-level outcome 1 where you are expected to describe various concepts in M&E.
Purpose of the unit/week/section:
This unit will help you understand the various basic elements and components of M&E which you will be exploring in-depth in the units that follow.
Over to you: (a description of the process of the section)
In this unit, you will read a text and synthesize what you have read by drawing concept maps of the elements and components of M&E. You will thereafter engage in more activities during the face-to-face session that will include discussing what you posted on the mind-map and sharing your understanding with the rest of the class.
Pre-topic activity: | Number of hours | 0.25
E2.1

1. You will read R2.1 under the section titled, ‘Elements of an M&E system’. which will provide you with information on the elements of an M&E system.
2. You will list the elements of an M&E system that you identify. You will use them for the next activity.
3. Draw a concept map with M&E at the center and show the different elements of an M&E system. You can find a sample concept map here. You can either draw the concept map by hand, take a photograph and post it on the VLE or use concept mapping software to make it.
4. Post your concept map on the VLE.
Face to face time: (if applicable) | Number of hours | 1.25
During the face-to-face session, you will engage in a think-ink-pair and share activity.

1. This will involve reflecting on the concept map you posted on the VLE,
2. Then pair with one or two classmates to discuss what you understand by each of the elements of an M&E system.
3. After the discussion, each of the discussion pairs will share one element and later a component of M&E with the rest of the class.
4. Ensure you listen carefully to the explanations so that you do not repeat what will have been presented.
5. Take notes as the presentations are made.
6. The pairs should continue explaining different points to the class until all points are exhausted/saturated.
Online activity: | Number of hours | 1.5
What should students do?
E2.1

1. You will read notes on R2.1 individually with a focus on the sections on  Components of an M&E system.
2. A2.1 After reading, you will draw another concept map that shows the components of an M&E system
3. After posting your mind-maps, read the mind-maps posted by at least 2 of your classmates and add any point that you could have left out on your mind-map.
Where do they do it? | On the VLE.
By when should they do it? | You should complete the online activity at least 3 days before the face-to-face session.
E-moderator/tutor role
The e-moderator will post the learning resources on the VLE, confirm that students have completed the activities, give feedback on assessments, and facilitate the face-to-face activities.
