Abstract

The paper describes an implementation of research done over several years, by me and in some cases others, at Stanford University and elsewhere. The implementation comprised the design, building, testing, and marketing of a digital educational technology platform to provide a supplementary tool for explorative mathematics learning and assessment.

Acknowledgements

Much of the early development of BrainQuake’s learning and assessment products was supported by a 2.5 years, $1.05M SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) two-part award from the US Department of Education’s Institute for Education Sciences. (Part 1 award number EDIES15C0014, Part 2 award number EDIES16C0012.) BrainQuake partnered with the independent nonprofit educational research organization WestEd to conduct ongoing efficacy studies throughout the two projects.
