Wirkungsorientiertes Monitoring (WoM) in Digitalisierungsprojekten: Das BIRD-Beispiel

Abstract

The R&D digitalization project "Digital Educational Space” (in German: “Bildungsraum Digital” – BIRD) aims to contribute to the digital transformation in meeting the structural change in the education system. It plays a crucial role in the funding line for a Digital Networking Infrastructure for Education as a validation point for the connectivity of the other funded projects. Therefore, special attention is paid to quality assurance. That’s why Results-oriented Monitoring (RoM) was introduced as a tool to align the planning and implementation of the three-dimensional bundle of measures in the project with the overall objectives of the funding scheme and to ensure the achievement of the medium- and long-term impacts. This paper presents the concept and advantages of this approach for increasing effectiveness, promoting understanding, and raising visibility, as well as the followed procedure and related requirements.
