Beyond the Hype: Defining and Measuring Quality in EdTech for Math and Beyond

Why hasn’t decades of EdTech hype translated into better math scores at scale? This session tackles that question head-on, examining what “quality” really means for math learning technologies. We’ll explore how to being to move beyond flashy promises to focus on tangible student outcomes. Panelists will discuss how to define and measure quality in math EdTech – from alignment with curriculum standards and intuitive teacher UX/UI design, to data-driven efficacy studies and A/B testing for continuous improvement. Hear how organizations like Khan Academy co-design tools (like the AI tutor Khanmigo) with schools to ensure real classroom impact, how ISTE, a key pioneer in Ed Tech and Innovation is developing a framework for digital quality,, and how initiatives such as CEMD aim to aggregate demand for high-quality solutions. We’ll also venture into the future, considering how generative AI and AGI could reshape math education. Join this lively discussion to learn how we can turn EdTech’s promise into real progress for learners.
