Wicked Evaluation Problems

A collection of three zines written in an 'Agony Aunt' style, designed to answer industry questions around evaluation and research within higher education institutions.

The zines were organised into three key themes: Evaluation Methods, Evaluation Design, and Power and Value.

The project features additional content accessed through the Adobe Aero App. Additional content and digital copies of the zine (as well as an accessibility copy) can be found by visiting the Evaluation Collective website.

Project Date: March-November 2023

Clients: Sheffield Hallam University, The Evaluation Collective, QAA.
