How Noggin Measures Learning

It's so important for educational media companies to hold themselves to high standards, and to make sure that they produce content that truly helps kids learn. That’s what Noggin’s team does, and why I'm proud to be working here.

Why Measuring Learning Outcomes is Important for Educational Media

“Today, all learning products intended for children should have proven impact or evidence of encouraging learning.”

“Driving evidence-based outcomes in early childhood education is an urgent national priority.”

“Families are emerging from several years languishing at home during the COVID crisis, adding urgency to concerns that children’s media time be purposeful [and educational].”

“Research will help us determine if content resonates with and engages children, and whether it supports learning key concepts and skills.”
