EXERCISE

SCENARIO I: To Replicate or Not?
The Vietnam One Health Network National Coordinating Office (VOHUN-NCO) read a
“Success Story” about the THOHUN One Health Short Course and they would like to replicate
it in their country.
However, USAID funding has stopped, so VOHUN-NCO is asking their partner
universities (Hanoi Medical, Hanoi Public Health, Hanoi Agriculture, Hue University of
Agriculture, Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy, and Can Tho University)
to help fund this workshop. The Vietnamese universities are not yet convinced this is worth
their money. They would like to know how this workshop could benefit their universities.
Specifically, they want to how Thai universities benefitted from having faculties participated in
this workshop.
Now, four months after the THOHUN One Health Short Course workshop ended,
VOHUN-NCO has asked you to conduct an evaluation to see what changes have taken place
among Thai faculties and universities as a result of the workshop.

SCENARIO II: Active or Passive Learning?
The Vietnam One Health Network National Coordinating Office (VOHUN-NCO) is

interested in having a One Health Short Course workshop in their country, similar to the
THOHUN OHSC workshop. However, USAID funding has stopped, so VOHUN-NCO and

they don’t have enough money to support a 4-day workshop.
They have reviewed the planned THOHUN OHSC activities and a lot of them appeared to

be fun games that take a very long time. Senior staff at VOHUN-NCO think that the same
amount of learning can be achieved through a 1 or 2 day lecture about One Health Core
Competencies. Specifically, they want to know 1) what impact these interactive activities have
on One Health learning and 2) if the workshop could be shortened from 4 to 2 days and yet
achieve the same goals.

The THOHUN Short Course has not yet started; it will start next week, and you will
attend as an evaluator to answer the above questions about the effectiveness and outcomes of a
four-day experiential learning workshop.

SCENARIO III: To Repeat or Not?
THOHUN National Coordinating Office (NCO) would like to do this workshop again with
new faculty members. THOHUN-NCO staff are not sure which faculties to include in the next
workshop. Due to limited funding, they would like to concentrate on those faculties which
either benefited most from the last workshop or have the greatest need for a future workshop.
The THOHUN-NCO has asked you to conduct an evaluation to help them determine who
their target audience for the next One Health Short Course workshop should be. You may
decide to conduct an impact assessment of the last workshop or a needs assessment for the
future workshop, or a combination of the two. You have one month to finish the evaluation
and share your findings before THOHUN-NCO makes a decision.
