Every institution has conducted some kind of edtech research - to vet potential products or determine a tool's efficacy, for example. Yet many also hesitate at the start: Has anyone evaluated this tool? If so, how? What kinds of questions did they ask? What did they learn? Professionals turn to friends, colleagues, their mailing list of choice - but what if you could find the answers to these questions by connecting with peers around the world? Enter GEER - the Global Edtech Evaluation Repository.
Initiated in 2016, the GEER project is designed to aggregate and make available reports written by HE institutions around the world, and further aims to share good practices and experiences related to educational technology evaluations and assessments . Research/study questions, processes, analyses, results, instruments, and more can be shared between institutions within the GEER community, and previous GEER presentations have discussed the project's usefulness in the IT/edtech fields. Because GEER's success is directly linked to the strength, reach, and size of its network of institutions, this poster talk is a call for participation directed to the higher education assessment community.
