An edtech product firmly grounded in research has the greatest impact and best serves diverse learners. Yet, surprisingly, many popular education apps on the market are not built with learners at the fore, putting millions of students at risk of being marginalized in a tech-enabled world of learning. In this webinar, you’ll gain practical advice for how to build new products upon design-based research, which takes into account theory, impact, user needs and reach, making for seamless adoption at the school and district level. 

Hear from a panel of education experts, technologists and learning scientists about how and why product designers should integrate learning science into their offerings from the start. In this panel discussion, you’ll learn about:

• Emerging insights from learning science
• Strategies for demonstrating the evidence-basis of your product to purchasing decision makers 
• An app development case study from Digital Promise
• How using learning science as a guide can set learners and edtechs up for success
