Drive Informed EdTech Decisions with Research and Data
Educators and administrators face the challenge of navigating an increasingly complex EdTech market. Our five-part series offers actionable insights from our in-house research experts, guiding you in evaluating EdTech products, assessing efficacy research, and measuring impact to ensure your investments deliver the results needed for student success.
Measuring Impact: Navigating High-Quality Research for Educators
Products often state that they are “research-based,” but understanding the research and how they evaluate the tool may not always be easy. Products should include research grounded in the learning sciences, user research, and impact research rooted in student outcomes.
High-Quality Edtech Research: What Is It & Why It Matters
Product research is important, but being able to identify high-quality research is critical to confirming product efficacy. Look for research completed in a scientifically rigorous way, such as peer-reviewed studies.
Evaluating the Impact of Edtech Programs
What key metrics and data should you look for when evaluating edtech products? User experience, impact research, industry-standard benchmarks, and continuous improvement are important data points to guide your decision.
