On this page you will find a selection of resources developed for EdTech companies as part of the EdTech Evidence Board Project, delivered by the Chartered College of Teaching and supported by the Department of Education.
The EdTech Logic Model Builder is an online tool that has been built to help EdTech organisations create a bespoke logic model that can be used to support and demonstrate a product’s evidence base.
A logic model is a tool used to design and build an evidence ecosystem for a product. Our Logic Model Builder has been designed to help EdTech organisations:
As well as helping you clarify your product’s claims, strengthen reasoning and guide proportionate evidence generation, a logic model is a one-page overview that can be included in an evidence portfolio or shared with schools to demonstrate the evidence base of your product.
The Logic Model Builder guides you through seven steps to help you create a bespoke logic model like the one below:
Start building your logic model now, following this step-by step process, guided by tips and reflection points.

School decision-makers increasingly expect to see clear, credible evidence about what EdTech products are intended to achieve and how impact is demonstrated.
Building EdTech Evidence offers two free certified courses designed to support anyone working in EdTech looking to build their expertise and confidence levels around evidence gathering. The courses are:
Receive certification at the end of each unit by completing a short online quiz.
Based on the findings of the pilot, we have developed What does good EdTech Evidence look like? – a publication which offers some answers to this difficult question, based on the outcomes of the pilot, and includes two case studies showcasing the evidence-informed work of two EdTech suppliers.
The EdTech Evidence glossary provides an overview of some of the different types of evidence that EdTech organisations might utilise to demonstrate the efficacy of their EdTech products for teaching and learning.
The EdTech Evidence Board Evaluation Criteria are an evidence-based criteria to evaluate the efficacy of EdTech products for teaching and learning. It is these criteria that are currently being tested as part of the pilot; and which will ultimately define the standard that will be required for EdTech products to be recognised by the EdTech Evidence Board in a future evaluation model.
The window to apply for the EdTech Evidence Board pilot is now closed, but if you are interested in registering your interest to submit a product for future review, please fill in the form at the link below.
