Mosaic™ by ACT® Adaptive Academic Learning has earned the Research-Based Design product certification from Digital Promise.
The certification serves as a signal for district and school administrators, educators and families looking for evidence of research-based educational technology (edtech) products that are based in research about learning, according to a news release.
ACT submitted evidence to Digital Promise confirming a link between research on how students learn and the product’s design, leading to the certification.
“ACT has built its reputation as an authority in research-backed products and services intended to address the evolving educational marketplace,” interim ACT chief product officer Julie Murphy said. “This certification for Mosaic by ACT Adaptive Academic Learning is an endorsement of our mission to deliver solutions that are comprehensive, efficacious and support each learner on their personalized learning path. It’s now more important than ever to address learning losses resulting from COVID-19 instructional disruption.”
“Educators and researchers continue to uncover important insights about how people learn,” said Christina Luke Luna, senior director of lifelong learning pathways at Digital Promise. “Digital Promise’s Research-Based Design product certification recognizes the edtech products that incorporate research about learning into their design and development.”
