Course

Support your understanding of the Theory of Change tool from the DIY Toolkit and how you can use it to help define your goals and how to reach them.

This DIY Learn Theory of Change module begins with a set of Learning Outcomes. These highlight what you should expect to know and be able to do as a result of studying it.

As you work through the module there are some in-text activities to help test your understanding of the material. At the end, there are self-assessment questions (SAQs), with answers, to help you assess your learning against the Learning Outcomes.

We estimate this module will take between two and three hours to complete for an independent learner with a good level of English and at least secondary level education. The module is divided into smaller study sessions, each of which follows a standard pattern to make it easier for you to plan your time.

If you enrol, via the button above, study the module and complete the quiz at the end of the module you can gain a digital badge and a statement of participation as a record of your achievement. Digital badges are a new way of demonstrating online that you have gained a skill in your chosen subject. Badges are not accredited by The Open University but they’re a great way to demonstrate your interest in the subject and commitment to your career, and to provide evidence of continuing professional development.

We’re always delighted to hear from our learners. Please send feedback on the module to OUDO-International-Enquiries@open.ac.uk, we are particularly keen to hear what you have done with the skills and tools you have learned.

Whilst the module has been designed to be studied independently this is not the only way it can be used. The DIY Learn Trainers Handbook provides guidance on using all the modules as a basis for group training in a classroom setting.
