Summary

  • In our initial hour of research, we have scoped the publicly available information to determine the viability of the project, relative to the overall research goal. The number of EdTech investments in 2018 has been identified, and the relevant details of each deal has begun to be identified. Additional information could be included if required (although it may impact the overall scoping of the project)-
  • We have also created a template in the form of a Google spreadsheet to present the information. A sample of some of the data, we are able to identify is also included. We suggest the following steps to meet research goals.
