Terracotta was designed to lower the technical and methodological barriers to conducting more rigorous and responsible educational research experiments. It integrates with Canvas, allowing a teacher or researcher (if listed as a facilitator or TA) to conduct randomized control trials in the online learning environment. It collects informed consents, randomly assigns different versions of assignments to students, and exports deidentified study data, such as grades.
Terracotta is currently being piloted at UF. If you are interested in learning more about Terracotta please contact citt@ufl.edu or request a consultation via our Request Assistance form.
