Evidence of Impact

Assessing evidence of impact and aligning it with existing benchmarks verifies that the AI solution effectively enhances educational outcomes

Question mark icon for Evidence of Impact

What evaluations show the tool improves student outcomes and supports educators in comparable contexts? Do we have the people, training, data systems, and plan to implement it with fidelity and monitor impact?

No technology is perfect but by asking the right questions about a technology and carefully considering our capacity to effectively leverage it, we can maximize impact.

Scenario

A vocational training center uses an AI-enhanced job training program for adults. An AI system delivers personalized and adaptive training experiences that offer learners a credential upon completion. Educators and program evaluators monitor progress, iteratively make adjustments to the program and align the tool’s credential to established benchmarks. Regular assessments and AI analysis predict participants’ employment outcomes. Several programs work together to collect and share data-driven insights regarding job placement and retention rates for trainees.
