What is Plus Delta Evaluation

Chapter 40
Handbook of Research on Computer Mediated Communication
A Plus Delta evaluation is a formative evaluation process that provides feedback on an experience or event and collects ideas for future improvements. It is framed in “improvement” language rather than language that might be experienced negatively. The plus identifies what went well. The delta identifies what might be changed to improve a process or particular activity. Plus Delta evaluations can be used with individuals or groups of any size.

Abstract
Throughout history, story has been a powerful and effective way to build relationships within groups of people. Professional group facilitators know the power that story can bring to the workshops and group sessions they lead. From within the membership of the International Association of Facilitators (IAF), a group of 18 facilitators came together to collectively research the benefits of story in online groups. There was strong interest in developing practical processes and techniques that facilitators could use in building and maintaining relationships in the online groups they work with. This chapter presents some of the findings from a cooperative inquiry the group undertook investigating the use of story using a variety of media including: e-mail, audio, telephone, video and Web conferencing, instant messaging, chat, blogging, and online surveys. Our investigations reveal that story can be a powerful means for building relationships between group members within online groups. The impact of disembodiment, restrictive feedback, unclear membership, and tolerance for technical difficulties are also detailed and some interventions are outlined.
