In our inaugural episode, host Brian LeTendre sits down with MIND's Chief Data Science Officer Andrew Coulson to talk about edtech evaluation. In the discussion, Andrew discusses the subject of his recent blog post on the need for a paradigm shift in edtech evaluation, and why multiple field studies are more valid than single gold standard experiments when gauging program impact.
