Detailed explanation of ALL student and teacher engagement with the unit:
Module-level outcomes addressed:
Unit 6 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 learn and practise how to create target indicators for M&E. The unit will contribute to the ‘indicators’ chapter of your full M&E project report.
Over to you: (a description of the process of the section)
In this unit you will be introduced to the various types of indicators necessary as measures for the M&E process.

1. You will study an article that explains the concept of indicators R6.1
2. You will then study a specific case showing how the indicators were selected for that case R6.2.
3. You will make short notes as you did for the first article.
4. You will discuss your tutor in the face-to-face session and with your colleagues in the group – e-tivity E6.1 during which you will create a joint group summary.
5. You will also determine in E6.2 how that case is similar and different from your own project and therefore align the process to your situation. This will help you create your project indicators – E-tivity E6.3.
6. You will submit your formulated project indicators as the unit assignment A6.1.
Pre-topic activity: | Number of hours | 0.25
E6.1 (individual)

1. Read the article R6.1 about outcome indicators for any project.
2. Make short notes on the key points in both articles.
Face to face time: (if applicable) | Number of hours | 1.50
E6.2

1. The case R6.2 will be the subject of a class discussion.
2. Discuss the steps for creating indicators for an example project for Social Behaviour Change Communication SBCC as found in this article R6.2.
3. Participate in the class Q&A, and
4. Write summary notes as the tutor discusses this type of project and how it compares with other types of projects in relation to M&E.
Online activity: | Number of hours | 1.25
What should students do?
E6.3 (group)

1. Using your notes from the pre-topic activity E6.1 and the class face-to-face session,
2. Discuss with your group in the journal and write down together how the SBCC project in R6.2 was (a) similar, and (b) different from your own project in terms of M&E indicators.
E6.4 (group)

1. Using your final group journal notes in E6.2,
2. make target indicators for your project,
3. submit for feedback and revise them following advice from your tutor. resubmit your final formulation of indicators. (This will become assignment A6.1 that will eventually form part of your overall project assignment).
Where do they do it? | On the VLE
By when should they do it? | E6.2: 4 days before the next face-to-face E6.3: 2 days before the next face-to-face
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. The e-moderator should ensure that indicators selected by the learners can easily and quickly be used in the baseline survey in Unit 7 so that learners can get survey results within minutes.
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 A6.1:  You will submit a write-up.

1. Summarizing the process (using a flow diagram and short descriptions/explanations) you used to create your indicators, and
2. A summary of those indicators.
3. Apart from the process diagram, your write-up should not exceed 500 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 project indicators you will need for the remaining M&E process in your project.
