The LoTi Digital Age Survey has a variety of unique benefits that make it the leader in online technology assessments:
- The LoTi Digital Age Survey online assessment is the only nationally-validated technology needs assessment instrument in the country
- The LoTi Digital Age Survey online assessment is the ONLY assessment instrument that measures teacher's current instructional practices. Research has shown a statistically-significant relationship between current instructional practices and student achievement on standardized test scores.
After taking the LoTi Digital Age Survey participants are presented with a detailed profile of suggested professional development priorities aligned to the NETS for Teachers (NETS-T) or Administrators (NETS-A). In addition, this profile offers recommendations aligned to five popular instructional initiatives including (1) Level of Teaching Innovation (LoTi), (2) Partnership for 21st Century Skills, (3) Marzano’s Research-based Instructional Practices, (4) Daggett’s Rigor & Relevance, and (5) Webb’s Depth of Knowledge.

The LoTi Digital-Age Survey—based on Moersch’s LoTi Framework (1994)—is an empirically-validated tool that creates a personalized digital-age professional development profile for participants aligned to the NETS for Teachers (NETS-T) and Administrators (NETS-A). Since its inception in 1994, the LoTi Framework has been used as the basis for (1) statewide technology use surveys, (2) LoTi’s Digital-Age School improvement model, and (3) a classroom walkthrough tool impacting thousands of schools nationally.
The LoTi assessment has undergone extensive research over the past 20 years and has emerged as a statistically-valid tool achieving (1) content, (2) construct, and (3) criterion validity; therefore proving that the LoTi assessment can be used to accurately diagnose instructional uses of technology and recommend professional development priorities consistent with 21st Century Skills and the NETS-T and NETS-A.
After taking the LoTi Digital Age Survey, participants are presented with recommended professional development interventions, web links, lesson plans, and other recommendations.
