Lea(R)n takes guesswork out of digital learning

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Dec. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Lea(R)n, creator of the award-winning online resource for educators, LearnTrials, today announced that public and private schools, districts and networks of educators all over the country are improving their efficiency and insights when purchasing education technologies for the classroom.

Teachers use technology in the classroom more than ever. The problem is the overwhelming number of products available today and knowing which products and services to use. Lea(R)n's  neutral platform helps educators make informed purchasing and instructional decisions so the right technologies make it into their classrooms in less time. The data-driven solution measures teacher "real use" feedback with other information to create customized, objective "report cards" on classroom learning tools.

"As budgets tighten and technology expands, schools need data to know which products to buy, cancel or expand," said Karl Rectanus, founder and CEO of Lea(R)n. "LearnTrials gives schools, states and districts a better way to solve this costly problem."

With LearnTrials, schools streamline technology feedback using a research-based online platform with searchable insights on products. LearnTrials quantifies the insights across schools with other data to create personalized dashboards, peer insights and side-by-side comparisons of tech products without ads, gimmicks or bias from companies.
