SEERNet is a network of platform developers, researchers, and education stakeholders working together to create and expand the capacity of digital learning platforms (DLPs) to enable rigorous education research. www.seernet.org
💡 In April Murphy's recent paper, "Classroom-Based Experimentation in a Digital Learning Platform," the emerging insights reflect her thoughts on effective classroom-embedded experimentation in education research. Learn about the three example studies: https://doi.org/10.51388/20.500.12265/306
In our latest paper we explore how digitally embedded, classroom-based experimentation can address challenges in education research, while generating actionable evidence about designing digital learning environments. Read the full paper for three examples: https://doi.org/10.51388/20.500.12265/306
We conducted an analysis of the rapidly emerging subfield of DLP-as-research-infrastructure. Our new paper shares findings, with the results serving to provide a framework for other emerging subfields to map their own literature. Check out the full paper: https://doi.org/10.51388/20.500.12265/305
