Research pilot — classroom trials
EduLinked’s Classroom Pilot tests modular, accessible learning in real school settings to measure learner outcomes, facilitator workload, accessibility uptake and the practicalities of scaling curriculum-first systems. Results inform product refinement, procurement materials and provider guidance so evidence drives future deployments.
Pilot design, governance and evaluation are structured to be auditable and ethically robust — including accessibility QA, HREC-ready protocols and partnership agreements for classroom and therapy-room trials. Pilot documents, timelines and budgets are part of our operational plan. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Hero image suggestion: a teacher delivering an EMLS module in a classroom with mixed-ability learners, an accessible set of materials visible and a facilitator using a tablet to capture evidence.
Introduction & objectives
The Classroom Pilot evaluates how EMLS and complementary learning interventions perform in everyday teaching contexts. We measure learner outcomes (knowledge & confidence), facilitator time and burden, accessibility uptake (use of Easy Read, captions and Auslan resources), and the logistics of evidence capture for reporting.
Key objectives:
The pilot uses a mixed-methods approach: quantitative pre/post measures, facilitator time logs and usage analytics (anonymised xAPI/LRS hooks), plus qualitative interviews and classroom observation. All data collection follows ethics and privacy guidance and can be configured as anonymised summary evaluation or consented research. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
Pilots are run with school or provider partners under an MOU. We recommend an evaluation partner (university or independent evaluator) for rigorous analysis and procurement readiness. Typical pilot budgets and timelines are included in the partner pack. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
Indicative pilot budget: AUD 18,000 for a 6–12 week pilot (site costs, training, evaluation) — travel or additional resourcing may be requested via grant or city/council travel allocations. Detailed budgets are in the pilot pack. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
Typical timeline: scoping & onboarding (2–4 weeks), configure & train (2–4 weeks), pilot delivery (6–12 weeks), evaluation & reporting (2–4 weeks). See operational timelines for compressed or extended models. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
Pilots include an accessibility QA cycle and HREC-ready materials. Participant information sheets, consent forms (plain language + symbols), and withdrawal pathways are provided so evaluation is ethically robust and culturally safe. Exports used as evidence are subject to participant sign-off where consented. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
Governance checklists and operational timelines ensure the pilot meets EduLinked’s compliance and data ethics standards; classroom pilots are recorded as active items in our governance tracker. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
We run short classroom pilots to test our lessons and supports. Pilots help teachers try the lessons, see if learners learn more, and make sure materials are easy for everyone to use.
