This template can be used as a starter file for presenting training materials in a group setting.
Sections
Sections can help to organize your slides or facilitate collaboration between multiple authors. On the Home tab under Slides, click Section, and then click Add Section.
Notes
Use the Notes pane for delivery notes or to provide additional details for the audience. You can see these notes in Presenter View during your presentation.
Keep in mind the font size (important for accessibility, visibility, videotaping, and online production)
Coordinated colors
Pay particular attention to the graphs, charts, and text boxes.
Consider that attendees will print in black and white or grayscale. Run a test print to make sure your colors work when printed in pure black and white and grayscale.
Graphics, tables, and graphs
Keep it simple: If possible, use consistent, non-distracting styles and colors.
Label all graphs and tables.

2. Objectives Getting to know your new assignment
Familiarizing yourself with your new environment
Meeting new colleagues
Give a brief overview of the presentation. Describe the major focus of the presentation and why it is important.
Introduce each of the major topics.
To provide a road map for the audience, you can repeat this Overview slide throughout the presentation, highlighting the particular topic you will discuss next.

What is Monitoring?

6. Let’s Define What is Monitoring?
What is Monitoring?
The word ‘monitor’ is originated from a Latin word where it means ‘watches over and reminds’.
Therefore monitoring is the routine, daily review and assessment of ongoing activities, progress and outputs of any given project(s).

7. Let’s Dialogue
What is Evaluation?

8. Let’s Define What is Evaluation?
Evaluation is the process of determining the merit, worth and value of things, and evaluations are the products of that process (Scriven, M. 1991)
Evaluation is conducted at a specific point in time to assess the progress and what if any difference was made.

9. Review Monitoring & Evaluation
If you are somewhat foggy about the difference about these two words, monitoring and evaluation don’t worry.
There has been some confusion between the definition of monitoring and evaluation.
Monitoring looks at what is being done, whereas evaluation examines what has or has not been achieved or what impact has or has not been made.
This is another option for an overview slide.

10. Why We Should Implement the Process of Monitoring & Evaluation?
Module B
Why We Should Implement the Process of Monitoring & Evaluation?
What will the audience be able to do after this training is complete? Briefly describe each objective and how the audience will benefit from this presentation.

11. Why we should implement the processes of monitoring
Let’s Dialogue
Why we should implement the processes of monitoring
Use a section header for each of the topics, so there is a clear transition to the audience.

12. Let’s Define
Monitoring and evaluation are done in order to guide and improve a project, and learn from it. It can be highly motivating to know that your projects achieve their goals or are on target to achieve the goals set. Monitoring is a tool to reveal if the project plans are working or not working.
Add slides to each topic section as necessary, including slides with tables, graphs, and images.
See next section for sample table, graph, image, and video layouts.

13. Module C Planning & Design?
Keep it brief. Make your text as brief as possible to maintain a larger font size.

15. Microsoft Engineering Excellence
Let’s Define
When planning for an evaluation it must be tailored to the particular program being evaluation.
One should not use the same evaluation for every program.
Certain parts of the plan can be interchangeable but not the entire evaluation.
If there is relevant video content, such as a case study video, demo of a product, or other training materials, include it in the presentation as well.

16. Establish the purpose for the evaluation
Below are five things one must consider when planning and designing an evaluation
Establish the purpose for the evaluation
Who will administer the evaluation
Must take in consideration of the resources and time limitations.
Methods and procedures to be used
Decide if evaluation will be participatory versus conventional
Add a case study or class simulation to encourage discussion and apply lessons.

17. Planning and Design
A very important part of planning and design is in deciding what type of questions will be asked. The formulation of the questions will determine if you will get the desired outcome. Lastly in planning one must establish indicators. Indicators are measurable or tangible signs that objective has been met or that something has been achieved.
Discuss outcomes of the case study or class simulation.
Cover best practices.

18. Data Collection & Analysis
Module D
Data Collection & Analysis
Summarize presentation content by restating the important points from the lessons.
What do you want the audience to remember when they leave your presentation?

Data Collection & Analysis

20. Let’s Define
In order to make good and effective decisions one must have the use of credible data.
There should be a well-laid plan for gathering and analyzing data.
There are basically two types of data qualitative and quantitative.
Both have their specific place in assisting leaders to make informed decisions.

21. Module E
Reporting

22. Let’s Dialogue
Reporting

23. Let’s Define
Basically there are two ways to give a report. One can give it verbally or written.
Reporting should a requirement for all organizations.
The reports may be given as often as daily.
However, one must decide how often the leadership, sponsors and stakeholders will need the feedback.

24. Things reports should include:
Financial information
Period covered
Planned goal and activities for the reporting period
Challenges incurred and lessons learned
Actual goals met
Important indicators
Plans for next period – adjustments if needed
