For researchers/evaluators interested in understanding participant engagement who do not have the time or resources to devote to a fine-grained video analysis procedure, we provide forms for live observation. We provide both a physical form and a virtual form. While the data collected with these forms does not provide the depth and detail of a full APEX analysis, they should give a high-level understanding of participants’ social, intellectual, physical, and emotional engagement with a much lighter time/resource commitment. Observations can also be used to provide more rapid/instantaneous data to supplement the more lengthy video analysis process. The APEX coding scheme description on this website should provide adequate context for the observation form.
