Trust is one of the main reasons why people choose to buy a certain product. Product testing and piloting are crucial when school district decision-makers evaluate differences between solutions. Moreover, reliable industry quality standards are helpful in recognizing trustworthy solutions. These quality standards are normally scientifically-backed, based on professional product audits which are done by trained evaluation experts.
Since the start of the EAF, we have worked with almost 300 educational companies. According to our experience, the companies and people in EdTech scene form a community. A working community is helpful when you have questions about education product piloting, EDU investors, efficacy research, or for example edtech acceleration programs.
We want to keep developing this community and share our latest knowledge and tips related to efficacy research and pedagogical design of education products.
We are very proud to announce that EAF EdTech Evaluation & Certification service has been nominated for the 2020 Klaus J. Jacobs Best Practice Prize.
"The Zurich based Jacobs Foundation, a globally leading foundation in the field of child and youth development, will honor outstanding achievements in advancing quality education in an awards ceremony in November 2020. It will bestow three awards to recognize three of the best education organizations globally. Each award will come with an amount of CHF 200,000."
This week has been marked by decisions to close schools all over Europe, but the teaching is still continuing, albeit virtually. This has created an urgent need for online teaching tools - and many companies are offering free EdTech products for affected schools.
