How it Works

Implementation studies are designed to investigate the practicalities of using an edtech tool sustainably over time and at scale across multiple contexts.

We will work with you to, first, understand more about your target users and school systems and then find at least two school systems within our network that both need your tool and represent different contexts and/or student populations.

During the study we will validate the effectiveness of and identify any persistent barriers of the onboarding process and supporting materials, optimal duration and frequency of use, and optimal ways of using the product with students across a large and diverse sample. We collect this data using pre- and post-surveys, focus groups, interviews, and user journals.

We then synthesize this data and create a final report that includes recommendations for product modifications and implementation guidelines.

Guiding Research Questions

What are the most effective techniques to integrate use of the product into the classroom?
How do contextual factors influence implementation success or failure?
How can these contextual factors be modified to increase chances of success?
