EdTech Evaluations
EDSI serves as research partner to Accelerate as part of their Call for Effective Technology (CET) program. This collaboration gives us the opportunity to rigorously evaluate two AI-enabled learning tools, Podsie and Goblins, in public school classrooms during the 2025-26 school year, helping to identify and scale strategies that improve student learning. You can find more information in this press release.
Accelerate today named Eedi and Edlight among its latest round of grantees under the Call for Effective Technology (CET) program, adding two new AI-enabled learning tools to EDSI's evaluation portfolio. With this award, EDSI will evaluate both platforms in public school classrooms during the 2026-27 school year.
Accelerate recently announced the first cohort of awardees for its Call for Effective Technology (CET) program, an initiative designed to strengthen the evidence base on the effectiveness of classroom technology. As part of this effort, we partnered with the Goblins and Podsie platforms during the 2025-26 school year to conduct rigorous evaluations of their impact in public classroom settings.
We have completed several evaluations and are excited to share the findings with educators, researchers, and policymakers in late 2026 and early 2027.
