Great ideas in education may falter in implementation due to an inability to access the wide range of specialized skills necessary to realize an initial concept. The Accelerator Studio’s in-house team of specialists provides support services to help guide the design of effective, scalable solutions anchored in the science and design of learning.
The Accelerator Studio’s services are available to affiliates within Stanford and select grant funding recipients. We specialize in four areas:
- Technology. Enabling researchers to harness technology in the service of learning. Services include ideation, prototyping, instructional design, cloud architecture, and media production.
- Research. Facilitating research conceptualization and measure design, execution of quantitative and/or qualitative research in the lab or field, data use agreements and storage, and guidance for working with Stanford’s Institutional Review Board.
- Science and design of learning. Guiding the development of evidence-based strategies for improving learning experiences.
- Partnership. Finding and helping to broker prospective participants and collaborators outside of Stanford.
Across the four specializations, our work emphasizes capacity building as a force to drive change. We strive to diffuse specialized knowledge and scaffold others’ abilities to launch promising research-borne solutions.
