From the Postsecondary Teaching with Technology Collaborative
Coming in September 2026

In spring 2025, 24 instructors at five institutions participated in a pilot study to test the Postsecondary Teaching with Technology Collaborative’s Self-Directed Learning Instructional Model. The study was designed to understand the model’s efficacy and gather additional insights on implementation. The research team conducted interviews and surveys and analyzed administrative data to explore the model’s usability and feasibility, the model’s promise for improving student outcomes, and the time and resources needed to implement the model.

This technical report – anticipated in September 2026 – will detail the Collaborative’s research methodology, approach, activities, data sources, findings, and more.

This report is intended for researchers and other technical audiences interested in understanding the methodological details that underpin the pilot study and comprehensive results. It complements a research brief that summarizes and discusses study findings and implications for practice.
