In February 2020, Digital Promise released the first of its edtech Product Certifications. After nearly a decade of edtech marketplace research, Digital Promise recognized that while education leaders want to know whether a product will improve learning, there is a strong distrust of product-authored studies. Through Product Certifications, consumers can narrow their options as they select products by identifying edtech that is truly responsive to learner variability before trying it out in their classrooms.听
The Learner Variability Product Certification uses a competency-based learning framework, developed in consultation with Digital Promise鈥檚 Learner Variability Project advisory board, expert researchers, and nearly 50 educators across the United States.听
