The Practitioner Research and Evaluation Skills Training (PREST) series has been published by the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) in collaboration with the International Research Foundation for Open Learning. This is a substantial resource, consisting of six core guides (with accompanying reading resources), six handbooks, and a user guide. Readers, in addition to the volumous instruction offered, will find gems throughout - for example, Alan Woodley's Doing institutional research: the role of the partisan guerrilla, which I hadn't seen elsewhere, along with standard readings from people like Berge, Anderson and Cookson. I didn't read it all, but what I did read (2 core modules and readings, and two handbooks) was first rate. Don't miss this resource, which will be definitive in the field.
