Tony Wan | August 24, 2015
If so, the US Department of Education’s Office of Educational Technology has issued a 36-page Request for Proposal (RFP) “to find support services to evaluate educational software applications purchased with the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) program funds.” The mission, should you choose to accept it: create a set of tools to conduct “rapid-cycle technology evaluations,” which include creating guidelines, assessment methods, protocols for setting up the experiments and documenting results. This RFP will close on September 3 at 11am ET.
