LearnPlatform uses a research-backed approach to develop a set of feedback areas (or factors) that can be used to offer structured feedback of education technologies and differentiate educators' experiences using them.
How do I grade a product?
To provide feedback of any product, click Grade when hovering over a product's tile in your Product Library or select the kebab menu on the right hand side in table view.
LearnPlatform has developed a research-backed rubric to guide and support educators and administrators through the process of vetting an edtech product.
After selecting Grade, you will be prompted to complete a survey that’s aligned with LearnPlatform’s research-backed rubric.
You have the option of clicking not applicable or adding additional information in the form of a comment if you feel it is helpful.
The last step in the grading process is adding any additional comments and feedback about this edtech product. Any information you can provide is helpful to our community of verified educators and to the other members of your organization. When ready, click Submit Feedback.
If you decide to submit new feedback for a product you’ve already graded, your new feedback will replace your original ones.
How and where will a product grade be displayed?
In the LearnCommunity Library:
The grades you see in the LearnCommunity Library are aggregated from every educator grade that has ever provided feedback through the Grade mechanism for that product. These grades include feedback from educators inside and outside your organization.
Product grades do not expire
In "My Library"
Grades will also be reflected in your own product library. My Grade refers to the grade that you [the user] gave that product and the Community Grade will reflect the grade from the LearnCommunity Library.
In the Management tab
Product grades will also be reflected in the management tab (for administrators) as the grade from your educators and from the LearnCommunity.
In other places
Product grades are used throughout the platform for reference and analysis. Grades will be reflected in Rapid-Cycle Evaluation [IMPACT Analysis] reports, Teacher Feedback reports, and product comparison among others. Refer to Grade Location Table for more information.
