Multiply Education Research Trials Launch
Etio (part of Tribal Group plc) are excited to invite all providers participating on the Multiply Trials to the launch webinar, that marks the start of the research trials taking place in the adult education sector.
As we kick off the academic year, this event will provide crucial insights and guidance for all organisations involved in the upcoming course-based trials.
Hear from Claire Steeksma, Head of Multiply at the Department for Education, about the vision and importance of these research trials and learn from Ipsos about data strategies. Etio will guide you through payments and staying connected throughout the trial.
This is an essential webinar for organisations preparing for the September 2024 course-based trials. Be sure to join us for the Multiply Trials launch on Thursday, 5th September!

How we use and protect your data
The purpose of the programme of trials is to evaluate interventions at a large scale and data collected for each trial will not be used for any other purpose. The trials will compare outcomes for learners in treatment and control groups, but there will be no comparisons made between individual organisations or teachers.
At an organisational level, we will ask for your contact details so that we can contact you when needed to arrange training, send you a survey or invite you to take part in an interview.
During the trial period, we will also ask organisations to send the evaluation team the contact details of any learners who opt out of taking part in the trials, so they can make sure they are removed from the analysis. For those learners who are taking part in the trials, we will ask for their contact details so we can send them a survey or invite them to take part in an interview about their learning experience.
Finally, we will ask organisations to collect data on learner attendance and compliance with any homework tasks, so we can take into account the ‘dosage level’ (i.e. the amount of intervention received) in the analysis and see if this makes any difference to the results. All of these asks will be covered through appropriate data sharing documentation. The full details of this will be included in the specification of an individual trial.
