We heard that districts needed solutions to support decisions around education technology (edtech) selection and procurement.  \nAfter seven years of conducting and sharing research, supporting growth in districts’ research capacity, and becoming experts on the edtech landscape, Digital Promise understands that education leaders and educators need support discovering and selecting edtech products that attend to authentic educator and learner needs. To meet that demand, Digital Promise is launching a Product Certifications Pilot, aimed at disrupting the way edtech is chosen by developing the market signal for products that are grounded in learning sciences research.  \nMarket Signals for Research-Based Innovations 2  \nOur Learning  \n2012  \nThe League of Innovative Schools surfaced challenges around edtech selection and procurement.  \n2015  \nDigital Promise partnered with Carnegie Mellon University to conduct 3 pilots of learning tools while  \nusing feedback loops to iterate and improve on products. Simultaneously, we coordinated 6 pilots of middle school math tools and 3 pilots geared toward summer learning loss. As we conducted more pilots, we refined and documented the ideal pilot process.  \n2013  \nDigital Promise partnered with IDEO to explore ways to further develop the edtech market in K-12 districts, through evolving the edtech procurement processes. This study recommended a need for greater collaboration across vendors/ districts, within districts, and across districts. One promising method districts were using to inform their decisions was piloting.  \n2016  \nDigital Promise launched the Edtech Pilot Framework to share our synthesized 8-step pilot process, along with over 150 free, open-source tools and resources. Digital Promise and Teachers College at Columbia University led the ResearchBased Products Campaign to incentivize the field to use research in product design and development. Digital Promise also published“Using Research in Ed Tech” to offer product teams guidance around research use in R&D.  \n2014  \nDigital Promise partnered with Johns Hopkins University to study 9 school districts while they conducted pilots using various edtech tools. We focused on learning about the processes they were using and understanding how to share those best practices with others to increase evidence-based decision-making.  \n2017  \nDigital Promise partnered with 2 districts to pilot 2 edtech products intended to support English Learners. Through this work, Digital Promise learned that few products are designed for marginalized learner populations. Our report shared best practices for edtech design to attend to diverse learner needs as well as pilot findings.  \n2018  \nDigital Promise invited educators to join our third professional learning cohort, representing 13 districts piloting 13 unique edtech products and innovative programs. Throughout the 3 PLCs, every participant reported an increased understanding of the edtech pilot process and agreed that evidence is important to decision-making. In addition, we published “Use Research Like A Champion” to share best practices for building districts’ research capacity, particularly around piloting.  \n2019  \nDistricts continue to share that edtech selection is challenging. Through a listening tour with more than 50 stakeholders, Digital Promise sought diverse perspectives to understand how to ease product discovery and selection for education leaders. We aim to develop a solution that will help consumers identify high-quality edtech tools designed using research that attend to educators’ and learners’ authentic needs.  \nMa","cbCaitOWFaKli2f3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitOWFaKli2f3","pdf",876814,"English","# Our Learning\n# Today’s Landscape\n## Three Pervasive Challenges","[{\"question\":\"What problem does Digital Promise aim to solve in education technology selection and procurement?\",\"answer\":\"It targets common barriers that make it difficult to discover and select edtech products based on authentic educator and learner needs, using evidence grounded in learning sciences research.\"},{\"question\":\"How did Digital Promise develop its approach over time?\",\"answer\":\"Through multiple years of pilots and partnerships with organizations and universities, it refined and documented pilot processes and created frameworks and resources to support research-informed product decisions.\"},{\"question\":\"What challenges did stakeholders report about the current edtech industry?\",\"answer\":\"Stakeholders described limited, hard-to-trust information about products and a lack of common language or indicators to assess product quality and value for evidence-based decisions.\"}]","Market Signals for Research-Based Innovations | PDF",1792048051,18]
