Q1
Walk us through how you would define and measure key product metrics for an online learning platform targeting K-12 students. Which metrics would you prioritize and why?
Why they ask this:* They want to assess your understanding of EdTech-specific KPIs (engagement, completion rates, learning outcomes, retention) and your ability to connect product decisions to measurable business and educational impact.
Q2
Describe your experience with learning management systems (LMS) or student information systems (SIS). How have you used API integrations or data from these systems to inform product decisions?
Why they ask this:* This tests your domain knowledge of education infrastructure and your ability to work with complex, regulated systems that EdTech products must integrate with in schools and districts.
Q3
How would you approach designing a product feature that balances accessibility requirements (WCAG compliance, FERPA data privacy) with user experience goals?
Why they ask this:* They're evaluating your familiarity with education-specific compliance standards and your ability to navigate regulatory constraints—a critical skill in EdTech where student data protection is non-negotiable.
Q4
Explain how you've used cohort analysis or learning science frameworks (like Bloom's Taxonomy or learning curves) to validate product hypotheses in an educational context.
