Title: Learning Anytime Anywhere

Partnerships (LAAP) Guidelines for

Annual Performance Reports with

Auxiliary Collection Instruments.

Frequency: Annually.

Affected Public: Not-for-profit

institutions.

Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour

Burden: Responses: 40; Burden Hours:

1,600.

Abstract: The current Annual Progress

Report format for the LAAP grant

program was used for formative

evaluation last year. With that

experience we have refined the

Government Performance and Results

Act (GPRA) indicators and the measures

for collecting data across projects that is

comparable, consistent, and reliable. We

have also taken a modular approach to

structuring the narrative of the report, so

that the collection is less burdensome to

respondents, yet more useful to program

evaluation. Finally, we have augmented

the Annual Report data collection by

doing a follow-up telephone interview

to validate and enrich data, as well as

a software evaluation protocol for

assessing the quality of the educational

software products that may result from

the grant projects.
