In partnership with researchers from Harvard University and Stanford University, the Center for Educational Data Science and Innovation (EDSI) at the University of Maryland is leading an unprecedented effort to build a benchmark classroom dataset between 2025 and 2027. This dataset will be collected and processed in a way that enables model training, benchmarking, tool-building and deeper research into teaching and learning processes.}, }
