| Abstract: |
The California Community Colleges (CCC) Chancellor's Office (CO) and Digital Promise collaborated to develop a new education technology (edtech) evaluation framework for the CO to identify edtech that supports the full spectrum of community college learners. This project centered authentic instructional needs by leveraging a co-design methodology that used working groups, design sessions, interviews, surveys, and pilots. This report offers a roadmap for higher education leaders ready to build edtech evaluation and procurement systems that center the needs of their learners and prioritize intentional investments in edtech interventions. |
