Impact evaluation is used to determine the effectiveness of programs by examining outcomes and determining if goals were achieved. It typically occurs retrospectively on mature programs and uses approaches like objectives-based, needs-based, or process-outcome evaluations to establish what works and why by measuring outcomes rather than just outputs. The major concerns are determining if the program was implemented as planned and what benefits were achieved for participants.
I gave this talk at a Nigeria Health Summit in March 2016. It was an introduction to impact evaluation: what it is, when it's a good idea, and some possible approaches.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2. Purpose of Impact Evaluation
• Impact evaluation is predicated on whether
programs are making a difference.
3. Nature of Impact Evaluation
• IE has a strong summative emphasis in that it
provides findings from which a judgment of
the worth of the program can be made.
• IE are retrospective in that it logically occur at
an end-point.
4. Nature of Impact Evaluation
• IE are undertaken on programs which are in a
mature or settled stage and have had
sufficient time to have an effect.
• IE can also be administered to immature
programs but the evaluator must give caution.
5. IE is concerned with………………
• Determining the range and extent of
outcomes of a program.
• Determining whether the program has been
implemented as planned and how
implementation has affected outcomes.
6. • Providing evidence to funders about the
extent to which resources allocated to a
program have been spent wisely.
IE is concerned with………………
• Informing decisions about replication or
extension of the program.
7. Major concern of IE…………
• Outcomes are major concerns of IE not output.
• What are outcomes?
- are benefits for participants during or after
their involvement with a program.
- outcomes relate to knowledge, skills,
attitudes, values, behavior, condition or
status.
8. Major concern of IE…………
• What are outputs?
- outputs are products of the program’s
activities. Example: number of meals
provided, classes taught etc.
• IE is concerned with establishing what works
and why.
9. IE is beneficial to the following…
• Stakeholders of the program
• Scholars
• Policy-makers
10. Approaches to IE…….
• In order to determine if a program has impact,
the following must be done:
- selection of key variables
- setting standards
- evidence
* It is the most practised form of evaluation
11. Approaches to IE……….
• Objectives-based;
• Needs-based;
• Process-product studies; and
• Performance audit
12. OBJECTIVES - BASED
• Based on the judgment of whether the stated
goals or objectives of the program have been
met.
• These are often expressed in terms of gains in
attainment of program participants
13. OBJECTIVES - BASED
Main Task in setting up Objectives-based
• Determine the issue of the stakeholders.
• Determine the real objectives of the program.
• Determine the most appropriate way to check
if the program has led to the attainment of
the goals.
14. OBJECTIVES – BASED
• Select an appropriate measuring
instrument, or write and trial a new
instrument.
• Identify the sources of evidence.
• Collect and analyze the evidence.
• Draw conclusions, make judgments and
recommendation and report findings.
15. NEEDS – BASED
• Determine the impact if the program meets
an identifiable need.
16. GOAL - FREE
• The purpose is to examine all program effects,
rather than limiting the investigation to
outcomes which reflect program objectives.
• Goal-free evaluations are rare.
• In goal-free, one examinees both the intended
and unintended outcomes.
17. PROCESS – OUTCOME
• The focus is on the actual program
implementation in order to explain the
process of the outcome.
• The outcome = DV; the process = IV.
18. PROCESS – OUTCOME
• Standard procedure is to develop instruments
to measure outcomes.
• Determine the degree to which
implementation action is consistent with the
intentions of the program.
• Preferred – observations by trained personnel.
19. Implementation as DV
• This is done when it is more important to look
at and evaluate the implementation rather
than the outcome.
20. PERFORMANCE AUDIT
• A custom crafted analysis of program
efficiency and effectiveness. It involves the
determination of the economy, efficiency and
effectiveness of government organizations,
activities and functions, in addition to their
compliance with laws and regulations.
21. PERFORMANCE AUDIT
• The actual practice of PA include:
- a systematic process;
- objectively obtaining and evaluating
evidence;
- ascertaining the degree of correspondence
between assertion and established criteria.
- communicating the results to interested
users.
22. Summary of IE…….
• Orientation
- What is the worth of the program?
- Justification of decisions to mount the
program?
- Accountability to functions and other
stakeholders.
23. Summary of IE……….
• Typical Issues
- has the program been implemented as
planned?
- have the stated goals of the program been
achieved?
- have the needs of those served by the
program been met?
24. Summary of IE………
• Typical Issues
- what are the unintended outcomes?
- does the implementation strategy lead to
the intended outcomes?
- how do differences in the implementation
affect the program outcomes?
- what are the benefits of the program given
the costs?
25. Summary of IE……….
• State of program
- settled
• Major focus
- delivery and outcomes
• Timing
- after the program has been completed
26. Summary of IE………
• Key approaches
- objectives based
- needs based
- goal free
- process outcome
- performance audit
