Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Rehabilitation participants in IFP digital filmmaking workshops will learn to use adapted video cameras to express themselves artistically via film. IFP and Courage Kenny staff will evaluate the program through participant feedback -- informal and via surveys on program effectiveness and satisfaction -- as well as on the quality of film produced.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Courage Kenny and IFP provided Digital Filmmaking to individuals with disabilities in Courage Kenny’s Transitional Rehabilitation Program in 2015. Participants in Digital Filmmaking receive surveys to evaluate their experience. In 2015, the survey included eleven questions that covered topics such as: My participation in this project improved my emotional outlook, and I felt creative when I worked on this project. Overall, students averaged a 3.6 on a 4.0 scale, or 90 percent, on the survey. In addition to completing the survey, students also provided general feedback about the class which we have used to make improvements to the program.
