SVC Final Evaluation. Background Report Lepori and Probst
The response rate of the questionnaire has been extremely positive, especially for the
concluded projects. Overall, we received answers from 23 concluded projects out of 26 (88%)
and from 80 ongoing projects out of 88 (91%).
4) Phone or face-to-face interviews either to the person in charge at the rectorate or to the
CCSP leaders in the different higher education institutions. These interviews focused mostly on
the following items:
• the strategy concerning elearning at the institutional level and the measures taken to
implement it (instruments, organizational measures, funding);
• the role and position of the CCSP and its future prospects after the end of the SVC
programme;
• the prospects for the maintenance and integration in the curricula of the SVC projects;
and finally,
• an overall evaluation of the whole programme, of its achievements and of its main
shortcomings.
The complete list of the interviewed people is given in the annex.
5) A small number of interviews of people in the SVC programme itself focusing specifically on
the functioning of the programme and its results (see the annex for the list of interviews).
Finally, this report owes very much to the members of the evaluation accompanying group,
which gave a large number of useful comments and inputs, as well as to the SVC steering
committee. We would like to thank especially the SVC coordination team which provided us with
information on SVC activities and copies of the monitoring dossiers; without their support, the
preparation of this report would not have been possible.
