Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Rehabilitation participants in IFP digital filmmaking workshops will learn to use adapted video cameras to express themselves artistically and share their experience 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 classes to individuals with disabilities in Courage Kenny's Transitional Rehabilitation Program. All participants in Digital Filmmaking received satisfaction surveys to evaluate their experience. In 2016, 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 3.5 on a 4.0 scale on the satisfaction survey. In addition, students also provided feedback on what they liked about the class and what they felt could be improved.
