Abstract
This report provides an in depth description, analysis and evaluation of the project titled: My Tertiary Education Day (MyTED): encouraging primary school aged children and their parents from low SES backgrounds to consider higher education opportunities through the development of an e-book. The report provides details of the Key Performance Indicators and how the project team successfully met all of the requirements, often exceeding expectations. The results from an evaluation of the eBook show that students enjoyed the eBook and its various components. Results of the data analysed show that as a result of participating in the MyTED program Year 4 students from Gympie priority schools capacity to aspire to attend higher education increases. Students understand the meaning of aspirations and are able to articulate their aspirations to teachers and peers. Students identified that their aspirations changed from the beginning of the program to the end as a result of the new information they received. Students have a greater understanding of the different levels of education and can identify whether they are required to attend higher education to reach their aspirations. Four types of evaluation took place to determine the effectiveness of the program namely formative, Impact, process and outcomes evaluation. The methods used in the evaluations include a survey, photovoice and myvoice analysis, user tracking and continual observation by the MyTED team.
