On a Masters level educational research module participants were invited to set up an action research project to collaborate in evaluating the module. Participants were encouraged to use the knowledge and skills learned on the module to design different evaluation exercises at each face to face class and to select suitable methods for collecting evaluation data about their own module. They then worked individually in pairs or small groups to carry out the small scale evaluations and to collate and analyse the data gathered. My role as the module co-ordinator was to act as a facilitator and guide rather than taking any control of the direction the evaluation went in. The module cohort then agreed that a subgroup of the class would continue to meet after the end of the module to carry out further evaluation and write up their results for publication.
