Introduction

Social entrepreneurs need to measure their impact—not just to track progress, but to access funding, build credibility, and fulfil global sustainability goals. AI offers powerful data analysis capabilities to predict trends, inform better decision-making, and improve measurement of impact, making the process more effective and efficient.

Through this WebQuest, you will use AI-powered tools to collect, analyse, and interpret real data for a social project or a social enterprise. By the end, you will have a basic impact measurement dashboard that provides real insights into social impact performance.

Why Measure Social Impact?

Imagine that you are at the head of a social enterprise providing free digital education to underprivileged youth. You would want to know:

• How many students complete the program?
• Has their employment rate improved?
• How satisfied are they with the learning experience?
• How should you measure these things effectively? How can AI help?

This WebQuest breaks with theory – you will gather actual or simulated data, use AI tools to analyse it, and produce an interactive impact dashboard that shows stakeholders how far you have come.

You will see directly how artificial intelligence (AI) optimizes data collection, identifies patterns, and enhances transparency to help you in making better business decisions.
