Digital Promise offers two certifications for research-based products: Research-Based Design for Instructional Learning Products and Research-Based Learning Analytics. Digital Promise has verified that the following products have met the certification criteria described below. These products submitted applications that underwent a rigorous assessment process to certify that they are designed according to research. Congratulations to all products that have earned one of these certifications!

Research-Based Design for Instructional Learning Products

To earn the Research-Based Design for Instructional Learning Products certification, edtech product teams must submit artifacts, or evidence, to demonstrate that:

  1. They consulted rigorous and empirical 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; and
  3. They publish the product’s research basis in a form the public can easily access (each logo below links directly to this artifact).

Research-Based Learning Analytics

To earn the Research-Based Learning Analytics certification, edtech product teams must submit artifacts, or evidence, to demonstrate that:

  1. They consulted rigorous and empirical research about analytics to inform product design decisions;
  2. They developed a theoretical framework, such as a logic model or theory of change, grounded in research about decision-making to drive product planning and decision making; and
  3. They publish the product’s research basis in a form the public can easily access (each logo below links directly to this artifact).

The Research-Based Design Product Certification is not an endorsement of products or their efficacy. 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.
