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.
