This paper serves as a progress report and roadmap for UpGrade, an open-source A/B testing platform for digital experimentation in educational technologies.
The UpGrade roadmap focuses on reducing barriers to user onboarding and rapidly providing value to the learning engineering community by leveraging existing technical standards.
The authors briefly describe UpGrade, lay out the roadmap, and discuss several planned UpGrade features.
The paper is intended to encourage discussion and feedback from the learning engineering community on possible course corrections for the roadmap, standards that can be fruitfully leveraged, and features that would enable more educational technologies to rigorously test product improvements and evaluate educational effectiveness.
