Research Impact in Higher Education
Research impact in higher education is important for three main reasons: 1) to monitor and manage university performance and understand contributions to society, 2) to demonstrate accountability to stakeholders and taxpayers for public funding, and 3) to inform funding decisions by showing socioeconomic value. The UK Research Excellence Framework assesses 20% of funding based on impact case studies describing how research has benefited society or the economy. While impact is difficult to measure due to time lags and other factors, case studies provide qualitative evidence of influence on policy, products, services and public awareness.

This document outlines a model for teacher professional development focused on assessment for learning. The model involves four phases over one school term each: 1) Exploration of research on assessment strategies, 2) Development of understanding of assessment principles, 3) Embedding assessment practices by sharing techniques, and 4) Sustaining changes by supporting colleagues. The goal is to create a "pioneer group" to experiment with techniques, reflect on impacts, and eventually disseminate learning school-wide through collaborative discussions and case studies. Regular workshops and between-session practice are meant to transform teachers' understanding at professional, social, and personal levels.

Bis iris scanning
Iris scanning uses the unique patterns in a person's iris, which are determined before birth and remain stable throughout life, allowing for highly accurate biometric identification. An iris code using a mathematical algorithm represents each iris pattern, and no two codes are the same. Current uses of iris scanning include smartphones, airports, and government and military applications due to its accuracy and speed compared to fingerprint scanning. Future uses may expand to ATMs, healthcare, transportation, and other areas requiring security and user identification.

Recording: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBPeNQb3V8w
Learn more about your CanadaHelps donors and why they give! CanadaHelps and McMaster teamed up in the summer of 2010 to survey CanadaHelps donors.

We also wanted to know what motivates Canadians to give – when, why and how are they moved to make a donation. The findings will surprise and delight you!
In this special 2-part webinar series, we’ll explore the results of the survey and delve deeper into what this means for your charity in terms of online fundraising. In Part 1, we’ll explore the finding of the survey in-depth. Part 2 will focus on your next action steps for engaging more online donors.

Introduction to Impact Measurement
The document discusses the importance of measuring social impact and provides guidance on developing an impact framework. It emphasizes starting with clear objectives and engaging stakeholders, and introduces tools and principles for collecting both quantitative and qualitative data on inputs, outputs, outcomes and overall impact. The goal is to understand the difference an organization makes and clearly communicate its value to stakeholders.
Judicial Reviews
The summary analyzes a case study involving funding cuts to youth clubs by a county council. The council cut funding to 50% of clubs by randomly selecting them, without considering equality impacts. One affluent urban club (Club X) challenged the decision procedurally. When the council maintained its decision, Club X applied for a judicial review alleging irrational criteria and failure to comply with public sector equality duties. A second application was then brought on behalf of a user of a rural club (Club Y) that lost funding, alleging disproportionate impacts on rural and BAME youth. The assistant is asked to advise on next steps for both challenges considering public law obligations, merits of claims, and provisions in new legislation requiring refusal if outcome would likely
European and HR law
This document summarizes a legal masterclass on positive action and maintaining equality in the workplace. It discusses:
1) The key positive action provisions under the UK Equality Act 2010 which allow employers to take proportionate action to encourage participation among protected groups.
2) A European Court of Justice case which found that a French law allowing more favorable treatment for some women in public sector recruitment was not justified positive action and did not achieve full substantive equality.
3) The need to balance achieving equality of opportunity through compensatory positive action without creating claims of unlawful discrimination from other groups.
Judicial Reviews learning and the future
This document summarizes the role of judicial review in enforcing equality laws, lessons learned from judicial review cases, and recent and potential future changes to judicial review. Specifically, it notes that judicial review is an important mechanism for enforcing laws like the Public Sector Equality Duty. It outlines grounds for challenge like procedural fairness, legality, and rationality. Recent changes like reduced legal aid may decrease the number and quality of challenges. Proposed reforms could further limit standing and increase costs risks.
