EdTech Feedback Panel

There's a serious disconnect between the makers of educational software and the people who use it. Your voices need to be heard.

EdTech products can be really frustrating to use, right? They so rarely fit with the way you actually teach or learn course material. Why? Software companies often don’t know how to connect with users like you, they don’t ask the right questions, or they don’t know the best way to react to the input they get.

That's why we've created the EdTech Feedback Panel. We want to offer you a seat at the table and amplify your voice where it matters most. At Openfield, our years of experience conducting user research with thousands of educators has positioned us as the bridge between your classroom wisdom and the companies creating your digital tools. We've built trusted relationships with EdTech developers who are genuinely eager to listen, and our expertise helps product teams create educational software that actually fits real-world needs. By joining our panel, you're not just providing feedback—you're shaping the future of educational technology that will serve teachers and students for years to come.

Feedback Opportunities

When you join our panel, you'll have access to two types of opportunities:

  1. Paid Product Research: These paid opportunities typically come from our clients who need detailed feedback. Participants are carefully selected based on specific criteria and compensated with gift cards for their valuable time and insights.
  2. Pulse Check: These are brief surveys (under 5 minutes) about the state of teaching and educational technology. This is your chance to have your opinions seen by key decision-makers in the EdTech space. As trends emerge, we will share summary reports with those who participate.

Why Your Voice Matters

Your feedback directly shapes the future of educational technology. The tools you use should feel like an extension of how you think and work, but they often don’t. By sharing your insights with us in one-on-one sessions, surveys and focus groups, you have an opportunity to directly improve software for educators and students everywhere.

At Openfield, it's our mission to amplify your voice and turn your feedback into actionable insights that help make EdTech better for all. By listening to you and reflecting your needs in our work, we’re able to create products that truly make a difference in the lives of those who use them. We have established relationships with EdTech companies who are actively listening and ready to implement changes based on your input.
