How to Process the Info
• The IP addresses logged will help pinpoint the location of our users
-so that the project can tell if it is reaching both a broad national and international audience, and the desired local audience as
well.
• Feedback: Survey, Comment Cards, etc…-presented a comment card, either virtually by e-mail or by hand,
to fill out. -With these metrics, we can better determine if the tour is
reaching a diverse and broad audience, and if it truly is bringing more diverse visitors to the borough of Gettysburg.
