This is a broader ecosystem challenge. To-date, most research methods focus on narrow performance signals—such as test scores—and lack the ability to assess how students actually learn with AI in real-world settings, and how that use shapes outcomes over time.

To address this gap, we developed the Learning Outcomes Measurement Suite, a framework created with Estonia’s University of Tartu and the SCALE Initiative at the Stanford Accelerator for Learning to support longitudinal measurement of learning outcomes across different educational contexts.

Extensive validation is underway through a randomized controlled trial, and further research is planned with founding organizations in the Learning Lab, OpenAI’s learning research ecosystem, including researchers from Arizona State University, UCL Knowledge Lab, and MIT Media Lab (building on prior collaborative studies⁠).

Today, we’re sharing an overview of how the measurement suite works and why it matters. Over time, we intend to publish more research and release the measurement suite as a public resource for schools, universities, and education systems worldwide.
