What is a compendium?

A compendium is a "collection of concise but detailed information about a particular subject, especially in a book or other publication".

ImproVal's Compendium on validation tools for volunteers aimed at doing a synthesis. It is completed by an annex (excel file with list of all tools) and a map of the tools. Its preliminary results are presented in the project's first Webinar.

There are dozens of tools for validating volunteers’ skills. Are they good and what would make them better? Have they been helpful to you? Tell us about your experiences!
