MTDA Clearinghouse was created by the 2023 Montana Legislature, to expand digital learning services available to K-12 students in Montana public schools. Through a centralized portal, the Clearinghouse provides schools access to digital content, online courses, and other educational services from MTDA and third-party providers.
The Montana Digital Academy administers the Clearinghouse, evaluates providers, courses, and services for quality, negotiates group pricing, assists schools with implementation, and provides expertise and leadership in digital learning.
