About the Article
Collecting structured feedback is critical for improving the quality and effectiveness of virtual training and presentations in non-profit organizations. This Teaching Paper examines practical methods for designing post-session feedback forms that capture participant perceptions of content clarity, engagement, technical quality, and overall value. It discusses the use of rating scales and open-ended questions to generate actionable insights for facilitators, while highlighting considerations for ease of use, anonymity, and response rates. By systematically gathering and analyzing feedback, non-profits can refine content delivery, enhance participant experience, and make data-informed decisions for future sessions. Case studies illustrate successful application in volunteer training programs, offering practical guidance on integrating digital feedback tools and addressing challenges such as low response rates, survey fatigue, and biased responses.
