Supplemental information

The company's existing platform, Zuni, is an online platform that hosts more than 200,000 open education resources (OERs) aligned to state standards in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and for social emotional learning. In this project, the researchers will increase the functionality of the platform for teachers and students. The Phase I prototype will include a feature to import student data into the platform and an algorithm to analyze student performance data and guide teacher instruction for individual students. At the end of Phase I, in a pilot study with 10 teachers, the researchers will examine whether the new component functions as intended, and whether teachers use data to inform decision making about the OERs to support student instruction.
