We’re very excited to learn from you! If you have Tips, Resources or Lessons Learned of interest to your fellow OD2A evaluators please consider submitting a draft contribution. Posts should:
- Be written in first-person prose.
- Be short – approximately 250-450 words and absolutely no more than 500.
- Think of these posts as appetite whetting, if you would like to dive into more detail let us know if you would like to lead a webinar on the subject.
- Focus on topics of interest to our diverse group of OD2A evaluators.
- NOT use APA or other citation style meant for hardcopy documents; rather, embed links to online resources directly within the narrative and for resources that are offline, and use prose to describe such as “I found Smith and Jones’ recent article on Making Amazing Stuff More Amazing in the Fall 2010 issue of the Journal of Great Thoughts to be useful in laying out a step-by-step plan.”
- Include a title.
- Include a relevant image (chart, photo, data visualization, illustration) for which you have use permission, as appropriate (an image often adds explanatory value and/or visual appeal).
- At the very beginning, include a simple greeting, and 1-3 sentence introduction of yourself and the general theme of your blog article (but, you don’t have a lot of space and this isn’t all about you – keep it short and focused)
- For each Tip, Resource or Lesson Learned, include an individual heading and then a description. Include links where appropriate.
- Avoid self-promotion.
- Please don’t use fancy fonts or formatting. All of that is changed when your article posts to the site.
