Evidence¶

Digital Promise 2020¶

Digital Promise. (2020). Every Learner Everywhere and Lighthouse Institutions: First-Year Experiences. https://digitalpromise.dspacedirect.org/items/abf8db78-dc7a-4f4f-b06a-b00d1bda63e8 doi:10.51388/20.500.12265/99

q2 · i? · qualitative · r?

Semi-structured December 2019 interviews with lighthouse project leaders. Motivations were closing achievement gaps and improving teaching, not adaptive courseware itself; leaders were "mixed in their judgments" about post-grant continuation, with three confident the work would continue.

"First, the schedule calling for implementing redesigned courses in fall 2019 after starting the project just the prior spring was said to be too rushed."
