DETAbase
A wide variety of tools, instruments and data collections to support impactful effective practices surrounding digital learning
The objective of DETA Research is to promote student access and success through evidence-based online learning practices and learning technologies. Specifically, DETA identifies and evaluates instructional and institutional practices in blended and online learning, including competency-based education, with particular interest in underrepresented individuals (i.e., pell grant eligible, first generation, minorities, and students with disabilities) through rigorous research. In doing so, the members of the DETA Research Center Community have crafted a series of databases and toolkits to help educators in their research endeavors. Learn more about each resource below.
