Opportunity overview
The EdTech board: The education technology (EdTech) board will support with producing expert guidance from industry leaders and Subject matter experts. We aim to encourage edtech companies to generate more evidence by establishing product quality standards "kitemarks" and testing assessment methods. During year 1, we aim for our supplier to create criteria against which edtech evidence could be assessed in terms of its efficacy for teaching and learning. In addition, consulting the market on this approach to overcome potential barriers and begin securing buy in, as well as scoping out which sector experts may by best placed to assess products against the created criteria. The supplier would also advise on a potential future sub-commitee of experts. The second year would be a co-pilot year of the evidence board in action, securing the subcommittee of experts (e.g. company representatives, data scientists, regulators, charities, academics, expert teachers) to assess edtech product evidence against the criteria and give judgements which could be made available to the sector, ratified by an overarching board.
