This is the fourth in a series of evidence briefs, reporting on four A/B/n tests which explore different features to enhance digital personalised learning (DPL) tools. This brief investigates the extent to which the provision of notifications to pre-primary teachers to view data dashboards impacts learner device usage and learning outcomes. The A/B/C test found no impact on device usage and negligible impact on learning outcomes. This suggests that accompanying data dashboards with...

This is the third in a series of evidence briefs, reporting on four A/B/n tests which explore different features to enhance digital personalised learning (DPL) tools. This brief investigates the impact of repeating learning content for pre-primary learners on learner device usage and learning outcomes. The A/B test found that content repetition had an impact on literacy and numeracy outcomes for PP2 learners. PP2 learners’ usage of the DPL tool was significantly reduced with content...

This is the second in a series of evidence briefs, reporting on four A/B/n tests which explore different features to enhance digital personalised learning (DPL) tools. This brief investigates whether introducing a timer alongside digitised lesson plans impacts upon teachers’ lesson plan usage. The A/B test found that providing a timer did not influence how much time teachers spent on digitised lesson plans. While, on average, teachers in the timer group tended to spend less time on lesson...

This is the first in a series of evidence briefs, reporting on four A/B/n tests which explore different features to enhance digital personalised learning (DPL) tools. This brief investigates the optimal number of minutes for pre-primary learners on a classroom-integrated digital personalised learning tool to optimise learning outcomes. The A/B/C test found different levels of session duration impacted on literacy and numeracy outcomes, with the findings for numeracy dependent on grade level....

This Rapid Evidence Review (RER) provides an overview of existing research on the use of mobile phone-based messaging (including SMS, and messaging through apps such as WhatsApp) to support education in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This topic was chosen as the focus for a RER in response to the Covid-19 pandemic and school closures, as this form of technology has been adopted as part of some countries’ methods of providing continuing education during closures and disruption. As...
