EdTech-Tulna is a research-backed evaluation index that defines “what good EdTech looks like” for the K-12 segment. Developed by experts at IIT-B and IIT-D, it assesses product design across three core dimensions: Content, Pedagogy, and Technology (CPT) and is supported by a comprehensive and practical toolkit. Tulna standards enable governments, investors, and companies to select effective, scalable EdTech that drives real learning outcomes.

This brief from J-PAL South Asia distills key insights from academic research on PAL tools' impact on student learning outcomes in India. Drawing on studies from after-school programs, public schools, and more, it highlights PAL's potential to improve learning outcomes—while noting ongoing challenges in achieving grade-level learning.

This paper by IIT-Bombay, presents insights into the co-design of effective evaluation frameworks to strengthen the EdTech ecosystem in India. It examines a collaborative research partnership involving academic researchers, government officials, and non-governmental organizations focused on developing the Tulna EdTech evaluation index - using Design-based Implementation Research (DBIR) approach.
