Announcing Certified Products

In fall 2019, Digital Promise invited products to apply to earn the Research-Based Design product certification. In order to earn the certification, products had to submit artifacts to demonstrate that:

1. They consulted research about learning to inform product design decisions
2. They developed a theoretical framework, such as a logic model or theory of change, grounded in research about how people learn to drive product planning and decision making
3. They publicly communicate the product’s research basis

Digital Promise congratulates the following products for earning the Research-Based Design product certification in February, 2020:

               

The Research-Based Design product certification is not an endorsement of products or their efficacy. These product applications have undergone a rigorous assessment process to certify that they are designed for learning according to research. The certification intends to help educators narrow their options as they select products to pilot. To learn more about piloting, check out the Edtech Pilot Framework.
