Indicators for IMPLEMENTATION

IV	IMPLEMENTATION

4.1 Implementation strategy provides clear roadmap for execution.

1.	Poor	:	Implementation strategy is not specified.
2.	Average	:	Implementation Strategy exists but covers only some aspects of
			implementation. (e.g. delivery mechanisms and hardware /software
			requirements).
3.	Good	:	Implementation Strategy is clear and includes key aspects of
			implementation like hardware, software requirements, training
			manuals and learner guides.
4.	Very good	:	Implementation Strategy provides all the key elements, including
			suggested resource allocation and timelines, checklists and trouble-
			shooting tips.
5.	Excellent	:	Implementation Strategy provides a step-by-step road map for
			effective implementation that is complete in all respects.

4.2 Instructional manuals are self-explanatory, applicable and usable.

1.	Poor	: Instructional manuals are not provided.
2.	Average	: Some instructional manuals are provided		but are sketchy	and
			inadequate and not readily usable.
3.	Good	:	Instructional manuals are reasonably detailed, but not self-
			explanatory.
4. Very good		: Instructional manuals are self explanatory, applicable and usable.
5.	Excellent	:	Instructional manuals are self-explanatory, applicable, usable,
			anticipate most user queries and provide “frequently asked questions”
			type of guidelines and help.

4.3 Timelines for implementation are appropriate and realistic.

1.	Poor	: Timelines for implementation are not indicated. (users/implementers
		get no clue about how long it would take to implement the learning
		solution).
2.	Average	: Timelines though indicated, do not appear to consider
		implementation issues in an appropriate and realistic manner.
3.	Good	: Timelines appear appropriately indicated and to some extent,
		realistic. (Many implementation issues are anticipated.)
4.	Very good	: Timelines appear appropriate and realistic and indicate that all
		implementation issues have been identified and addressed.
5.	Excellent	: Timelines are appropriate and realistic and are supplemented by an
		implementation schedule to help the actual process of
		implementation.

4.4 Appropriate structure and resources are in place for implementation.

1.	Poor	:	Resources have not been allocated and Structure is not put in place
			for implementation.
2.	Average	:	Resources allocated and Structure put in place for implementation,
			are inadequate.
3.	Good	:	Resources have been allocated to a considerable extent and
			Structure has many elements in place.
4.	Very good	:	Resources allocated are adequate and Structure has all elements in
			place for good implementation.
5.	Excellent	:	Resource allocation and Structure put in place are exemplary,
			reflecting a conductive / enabling learning environment.
4.5 Facilitators are empowered for implementation.
1.	Poor	: No attempt to empower Facilitators for implementation is observed.
			(Facilitators not identified or trained).
2.	Average	: Limited attempts to empower Facilitators for implementation are
			observed. (Facilitators identified, but no training provided to them.)
3.	Good	: Facilitators are identified and some basic training is provided to
			them, though not adequate for implementation.

Very good : Facilitators are identified and are well trained for implementation.

Excellent : Facilitators are well selected, trained and motivated for achieving the

maximum benefit from the MLM.

4.6 Learners are adequately oriented.

1.	Poor	: No attempt at orienting learners is observed.
2.	Average	: Learners are given a broad idea of what to expect, but are not
		given proper orientation.
3. Good		: Learners are well briefed about what to expect and how to
		approach the MLM.
4.	Very good	: Learners are well oriented; know how to go about the MLM and all
		applicable supplementary material is in place.
5.	Excellent	: Apart from being well-oriented, Learners have been enthused and
		motivated to explore the MLM and derive the maximum benefit
		from the MLM.
