The fastest way to evaluate EdTech
Once-Over’s trusted EdTech evaluation platform helps schools save time discovering EdTech options using series of micro demos.
The first virtual EdTech evaluation platform
Discover EdTech, compare pricing, stay anonymous, and save time.
We assemble the EdTech
Our team of expert EdTech researchers identify products that match your needs, booking them into your Once-Over.
You attend micro demos
Anonymously sit back and enjoy a single meeting, where you give multiple options the Once-Over.
We gather the proposals
Your school district gets a proposal from each vendor, to help you evaluate the various options.
What people are saying
I sent three sentences to Once-Over, and they lined up five vendors within a week. An hour of micro demos later, we’d met the different vendors, most of which we’d never heard of, and received pricing from each. We’ve used Once-Over for four different projects since and will continue to; it saves us so much time and effort.
I love using Once-Over. The platform takes the effort out of finding and evaluating vendors. I didn’t realize how much time I could save until Once-Over started managing the process for us.
Once-Over has saved us unbelievable amounts of time in one of the most difficult school years I can remember. The initial fifteen minute meetings allowed us to quickly eliminate products that didn't meet our needs. We were able to stay anonymous until we were down to two companies. This eliminated all the high-pressure follow-up emails and phone calls from salespeople that can be so time-consuming.

You’ve heard of the flipped classroom, Once-Over is flipped marketing!
EdTechs are screaming for your
attention in their marketing outreach
EdTechs spend hundreds of millions of dollars on cold calls, email campaigns, paid digital advertising, huge tradeshow booths - all to get your attention. A lot of the time, this comes across as annoying and time-consuming for school districts. EdTech companies do everything they can to stay top of mind, to ensure they’re included when it comes time for school districts to buy.
Wouldn’t it be easier to anonymously raise your hand when you’re ready
The Once-Over platform will not just save school districts time, and help to make more informed decisions. It will also notify the EdTechs when the time is right. Lowering their costs and removing some of the frustration and fear of not being included. Once-Over is the fastest and fairest way to evaluate EdTech.
Why use Once-Over?
Save time and money
Discovering the right EdTechs takes time. Filling in forms, waiting for replies, and by the time they do answer, you’ve moved on to other tasks. Calling often means navigating phone trees and leaving voicemails. After that comes hour-long demos from each vendor. Then all the follow-up emails. Once-Over manages it all.
Include more vendors in review
Working in a school district is very demanding. It’s natural to limit your EdTech search. Perhaps, by speaking to vendors you already know or seeking referrals from colleagues at nearby districts. At Once-Over, the research we do for one district informs the next. We ensure you meet the right EdTechs to match your needs.
Informed decisions for schools
By Once-Over removing much of the mundane work, we free up your time to focus on what matters, the decision. You will meet more vendors through our micro demos, making it as thorough an evaluation as possible. All while you remain in complete control of the decision. Once-Over’s platform just makes it easier and faster
to manage.
