Online learning has become vital during the COVID-19 pandemic, but it is unclear how teachers can best support online coursework. To address this, the E-TRIALS project (EdTech Research Infrastructure to Advance Learning Science) leverages the ASSISTments online learning service to provide a web application where anyone can build & deploy learning science research studies. Student projects in 2020 and 2021 kickstarted the current iteration of E-TRIALS and led to the hiring of a professional software development team. Since then, this project helped prepare the platform for public release to the research community by improving application functionality, usability, security, and infrastructure. With the assistance of this project, E-TRIALS was launched in February 2022.
