May 27, 2015 by Beth Kanter

Note from Beth: My colleagues at Network Impact have released an important report about measuring and evaluating "civic tech" based on their experience working with Knight Foundation grantees.     It goes beyond just analytics tools to exploring tools, techniques, and data for measuring deep civic engagement, open governance, and inclusive decision-making.   My colleague, Anne Whatley, wrote this summary of what you'll find when you dig into these two stellar and highly practical reports and … [Read more...]
