Digital Program Evaluation/Evidence
Method evidence record

Digital Program Evaluation

Digital program evaluation applies the systematic logic of program evaluation to programs that operate fully or partly in digital environments, using digital tools and data — web analytics, online surveys, platform logs, social media metrics, and digital trace data — to assess program reach, implementation fidelity, and outcomes. It retains the core evaluative commitment to rendering a defensible judgment about program merit and worth while exploiting the speed, scale, and granularity that digital data sources offer. Applications span online education, digital public health campaigns, e-government services, and technology-mediated social programs.
