Ei's personalized adaptive learning platform, Mindspark, is widely used across 10+ states in India as well as in countries like UAE, South Africa, and Mozambique. Mindspark not only offers personalized learning opportunities for students but also generates data that teachers can use to enhance their classroom teaching practices toward adapting teaching. Ei aimed to increase teachers' usage of students' data to make classes more effective. P4T-Ed is supporting them in designing and testing a behavioral intervention to shift teacher behavior toward accessing, understanding, and applying this data to implement adapting learning.

Mentu, a Colombian Innovation Lab, leverages technology to develop AI-enabled solutions that aim to improve public education quality and learning outcomes across Latin America. To strengthen its ability to test and refine Shaia, a web-based AI-powered teacher assistant that provides support to teachers on their daily practices, Mentu collaborated with IPA to build an in-house learning and experimentation system that incorporated rapid A/B testing cycles to drive continuous improvement. Through P4T-Ed, IPA supported Mentu in developing a Learning Roadmap sequencing the development of infrastructure and experimentation efforts.

Coschool, a leading socioemotional learning EdTech in Colombia, faced a challenge common to many EdTech organizations: defining and measuring early outcomes—key indicators critical for program improvement and scalability. Through a series of participatory workshops, IPA, under its Partnerships for Tech in Education (P4T-Ed) initiative, facilitated the refinement of Coschool’s Theory of Change (ToC), identifying actionable early outcomes to track milestones like knowledge, well-being, and self-efficacy. IPA also guided the development of a tailored Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) Plan and a Data Use Plan, enabling Coschool to generate actionable insights and iteratively refine its programs.

Rising Academies operates schools and manages multiple partnerships across Africa, combining excellent content, teacher coaching, and feedback systems to help create the world’s best schools for the people that need it most. The organization has developed two WhatsApp-based AI chatbots: Rori, a math tutor for students, and Tari, a teacher assistant for lesson planning and classroom support. These were initially deployed across their network of 12 low-cost private schools in Ghana. Before scaling these tools further, Rising needed rapid, actionable research and testing to: (i) understand how Rori can be implemented in schools outside their network by investigating how to optimize implementation in these settings, and (ii) understand what drives teacher adoption, trust, and sustained usage of Tari.

This organization creates localized multiplatform education content that has been proven to improve children’s learning outcomes. As they work to scale their content to over 40 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, they are faced with a need to reconsider their learning approaches as they serve more children across more varied contexts. P4T-Ed is supporting them in developing an organization-level learning agenda to incorporate at-scale learning considerations. Additionally, P4T-Ed and this organization are co-creating a set of principles for a user research and testing strategy that is credible and feasible at large levels of scale while preserving their unique co-creation approach with children.
