Webinar | A Streamlined Approach to Evaluating EdTech

Want to make smarter, faster decisions about the digital tools your institution uses? This session will show you how to simplify your edtech evaluation process using clear, streamlined rubrics that focus on what really matters: accessibility, security, and the impact of generative AI. You'll also learn how to visualize vendor data in user-friendly dashboards. Plus, hear real-world insights from two universities that have successfully implemented these solutions to enable secure and effective digital learning environments.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Apply rubrics to efficiently evaluate edtech provider practices related to accessibility, security, and generative AI.
  • Interpret provider capabilities and approvals using dashboards to inform better procurement decisions.
  • Develop strategies for managing and sharing a curated catalog of approved edtech tools.
