Digital Promise has designed a research-based framework to guide the development of each product certification. Through a collaborative research and development process with educators and learners across the country, we define, iterate, and pilot criteria before launching the final application.
The framework ensures that each Product Certification:
Educators and administrators, drawing from student experiences, identify a high-priority edtech product feature or design element (e.g., research-based design, learner variability, etc.).
Content experts, including educators, researchers and product designers, co-create certification and criteria.
Using Digital Promise’s competency-based framework, an application for edtech tools is developed.
The certification is piloted with product developers to ensure it is valid and reliable.
The certification is launched publicly as a signal to educators that a demonstration of the product’s features have been formally verified.
