Evaluating Learning Abroad Programs

The evaluation process entails an objective assessment of the Learning Abroad program, aiming to gauge its performance and level of achievement. Key questions include:

  • Were the program's objectives met?
  • What challenges were encountered?
  • What aspects can be improved?
  • Is the program sustainable for future iterations?

During this phase, students are required to complete an online evaluation, providing insights into their overseas experience and sharing testimonials. This feedback is invaluable for program leaders to review the program's effectiveness and gather participant feedback. Additionally, the information serves to inform the Government and University about the efficacy and impact of student mobility programs.

New Colombo Plan (NCP) Completion Report

A crucial component of the evaluation is the submission of the NCP Completion Report. This report must be submitted no later than one month following the project's completion, or by the deadline set by Western Sydney International. For projects with multiple implementation dates, a report is required after each period. It's important to note that internal school/department reports are not a substitute for this document.

The completion report process involves:

  1. Downloading the  NCP Completion Report  : Participants are required to fill out this form thoroughly.
  2. Upload the Project Report: This is done via Western Now, along with any supplementary information. Supplementary materials may include additional reports detailing the experience abroad.

The Go Global team will then review these documents and offer advice before the final versions are forwarded to the relevant delegates and the Government. This review process ensures the comprehensive documentation of the program's outcomes and its continuous improvement.
