Research and Evaluation - What We do

What we do

Research

We conduct qualitative and quantitative community-based research projects, design and facilitate program and resource evaluation, and mobilize the findings and recommendations from our research in collaboration with various community, government and academic partners.

Evaluation

We design and facilitate program and resource evaluations to ensure that all our programs, resources and materials are effective and impactful. MediaSmarts’ collaboration with partners is essential to this work.

Policy & Knowledge Mobilization

Our research informs policy development in both the public and private sectors. We mobilize the findings and recommendations from our research and evaluation projects in many ways, including through academic publications, research reports, white papers, blog posts, opinion editorials, public consultations, testifying before parliamentary committees, conference presentations, media interviews, podcasts, infographics and social media.

Collaboration

Research at MediaSmarts would not be possible without community members, organizations, and academic partners who guide and support our work and call on our expertise to return the favour. We sit on many advisory committees for other research projects across Canada and are always looking for new opportunities to collaborate with others in the digital media literacy field.
