The Institute of Education Sciences (IES) is the independent and nonpartisan statistics, research, and evaluation arm of the U.S. Department of Education. Their mission is to provide scientific evidence on which to ground education practice and policy and to share this information in formats that are useful and accessible to educators, parents, policymakers, researchers, and the public.
The Digital Learning Challenge will enable experiments of frequency, scope and scale not possible through traditional methods used in education research or commercial EdTech processes. These experiments will transform our understanding of successful educational processes and result in better experiences and outcomes for all learners.
Incentivizing the development, demonstration, and deployment of an infrastructure for conducting experiments in learning contexts has the potential to improve our understanding of what works in education, while saving time and improving learning outcomes for millions of students.
- Conduct an Randomized Control Trial (RCT) or Quasi Experimental Design (QED) using any meaningful and substantive educational intervention
- Systematically replicate the experiment at least five times in no more than 30 days
- Replicate the experiment within at least three distinct demographics
