Measuring our impact
An RMIT University research team specialising in digital inclusion is collaborating with the Victorian Women’s Trust to study the impact of Rural Women Online.
RMIT researchers have been studying outcomes from the Rural Women Online 2024 Digital Intensives in Shepparton and Yackandandah, regional Victoria. Thank you to everyone who took the time to speak with their team.
All feedback is crucial in measuring the impact of Rural Women Online on digital inclusion in regional Victoria. We will be releasing the results of their research in the coming months.
