Who it is for

One pilot, three points of view

Process

Five stages from preparation to scale-up

Each stage has set templates, and the outputs of one stage become the inputs of the next.

  1. PrepareTemplates 1-1 to 1-4Check that the product and company meet pilot requirements and fill in missing documents.
  2. DesignTemplates 2-1 to 2-5Set research questions and indicators, and match schools that fit the conditions.
  3. RunTemplates 3-1 to 3-7Train teachers, use the product in lessons, and collect surveys and usage logs.
  4. EvaluateTemplates 4-1 to 4-2Write the evidence report with surveys, logs and observations separated by source.
  5. ScaleTemplates 5-1 to 5-2Hold purchasing meetings with participating schools and use a retrospective to improve the next pilot's templates.
Toolkit contents

22 core templates plus country modules

Procedures and templates that do not depend on the country form a shared core. Only what differs by country, such as regulation, curriculum and procurement practice, goes into a country module.

From Korea to the world

We build what we have learned from pilots in schools in the UK, the US and Japan into the shared core, add a Korea module, and run every pilot through the same process.

In preparation

Schools in Korea

We are building the Korea module first, in line with the Personal Information Protection Act, consent rules for children under 14, the Ministry of Education's criteria for learning-support software, and the 2022 revised curriculum.

Running

Schools in the UK

We match schools with a local evaluation partner and run pedagogical-quality and data-safety reviews together, following UK GDPR and KCSIE.

Past pilots

Schools in the US and Japan

Building on pilots in US and Japanese schools, we are turning each country's privacy and curriculum requirements into country modules.
