In this edWebinar, learn strategies for leveraging edtech data to best serve their needs. During the session, Digital Promise and Achieve3000 partner to share best practices for developing high-quality and research-based programs that produce actionable data points that can be used to inform instruction and make evidence-based decisions.

Drawing upon findings from over twenty edtech pilots, Christina Luke, Ph.D., Project Director of Marketplace Research at Digital Promise, shares the impactful types of edtech data schools should expect from developers to optimize implementation and procurement decisions. From the product developer perspective, Steve Tardrew, Vice President of Assessment and Research at Achieve3000, shares the strategies they’ve deployed to identify the most useful metrics and presentation of these metrics to best support educators and provide a solution to schools’ and districts’ identified needs.

Together, they discuss the significance of strong lines of communication between educators, researchers, and vendors, and encourage participants to share their experiences with accessing and using edtech data. edWebinar viewers can expect to take away tools for communicating data needs, capturing relevant information, and sharing feedback with edtech product developers to improve the quality of products in the field. K-12 educators and district leaders, higher education instructors, product developers, and edtech researchers will benefit from watching this recorded session.
