# Impact study

## In short:

* This building block will improve the evaluation of digital solutions through harmonized impact measurements, detection of key criteria allowing their qualification/recommendation, Federating data and learning traces of learners, pedagogical teams, declarative questionnaires to the monitoring of the use of resources.

## Timeline

Start date: T0 (T0 = expected: Q1 2023)

End date : T0 + 13 months

Duration (in months): 12

#### Where we are now

* We have developed a method called "impact stories", like the "user stories" known in UX/UI.

  To refine the development of tools, we had working sessions with different academic and private actors: LORIA, INSHEA, AVISE.
* We have developed a dashboard prototype, in partnership with Latitudes - Tech For Good and ECE students, engineering school, Paris.

### Objectives and Expected Outcomes

The objective of this building block is to implement the [impact study use case.](/use-cases/impact-study.md)

This use case is used to improve the evaluation of digital solutions through harmonized impact measurements, detection of key criteria allowing their qualification/recommendation, Federating data and learning traces of learners, pedagogical teams, declarative questionnaires to the monitoring of the use of resources

\- Benchmark data to measure the impact of Edtech solutions

\- Multi-factor impact measurement

\- Export data for analysis

\- Visualization of harmonized impact data

\- Facilitates the valuation of Edtech solutions and their relative positioning

\- Classification and extrapolation of data

### Scope 

* State of the art of qualitative and quantitative measurement criteria and tools used in the field of education and training 
* Establishment of an interoperability framework, modeling of priority functionalities, definition of reference data, signs of change and their time scales, mapping - Development of a pilot dashboard template kit
* Tests
* Implementation of the interoperability plugin for the collection API and integration of different data sources
