EdTech Landscape
The EdTech landscape encompasses a broad spectrum of solutions serving distinct pedagogical roles and user groups. Tulna’s evaluation framework assesses effectiveness of design through the lens of core stakeholders, teachers, learners, and parents, who fundamentally shape the learning experience. Acknowledging the varied dynamics of product use, Tulna classifies solutions into four operational categories based on the primary end user:
- (1) teacher-facing tools that directly support instruction
- (2) learner-facing, teacher-led products that require active educator facilitation
- (3) learner-facing products designed for independent use
- (4) parent-facing tools that enable meaningful engagement in a child’s learning journey
For Teachers
Teacher effectiveness is one of the most important in-school factor influencing student learning. EdTech tools for teachers can enabled teacher skilling, classroom and lesson planning, assessment generation and automate grading - reducing teacher workload and improving instructional quality. Especially relevant in large and distributed set-ups, where regular offline refreshers and collaboration may not be feasible.

For Class (Teacher Led)
These tools are designed to place the teacher at the center of the learning experience, enhancing their ability to guide, explain, and facilitate classroom instruction. They provide structured, curriculum-aligned content that supports lesson delivery with clarity and consistency, while also helping bridge gaps in access to quality instruction—especially in settings where trained teacher capacity or content resources may be limited. Through interactive, visually engaging materials, teachers can actively lead discussions, demonstrate key concepts, and adapt in real-time to student needs. Typically used with shared devices like projectors or smartboards, these solutions are built to complement and strengthen teacher-led instruction, not replace it. Many platforms also offer features to help teachers monitor lesson coverage and classroom progress, providing valuable insights to tailor instructions and support student learning outcomes.
