The EdTech Evidence Board (EEB) will take an evidence-based approach to evaluating the effectiveness and impact of EdTech products. The board will review evidence submitted by EdTech suppliers using a defined set of criteria. These criteria have been informed by research evidence and developed in consultation with subject matter experts, suppliers, schools and colleges.
We believe that the EEB will have a positive impact on the sector by driving critical thinking among schools and EdTech providers about the impact and measurement of EdTech products, helping education settings feel confident that they are choosing products that work well for them and for their classrooms.
Throughout the project we are working with teachers, school and college leaders, EdTech providers and others within education and EdTech sectors to inform our approach to the Evidence Board process. This collaborative approach aims to ensure that the EEB will be relevant and helpful to all, and that gathering evidence of impact can ultimately be incorporated into product development and testing across the EdTech sector.
In the coming months we will begin a pilot of the EdTech Evidence Board and will be inviting a selection of EdTech companies to submit evidence to the board for review.
There will be a range of opportunities to be involved in the project, whether you are an educator, expert in the field, researcher or part of an EdTech company, including being involved in research activity and being part of the pilot itself.
