🏫 Mobile Bans Sweep Over Europe 📵 As learners and educators across Europe return to schools and educational institutions this month, significant changes have taken place over the summer. In the months ahead, fostering nuanced dialogues that engage all key stakeholders will be crucial. These discussions should aim to bridge the gap between diverse research findings to truly understand the impact of these actions, support swift and effective policy decisions, and encourage innovation. By doing so, we can co-create robust, pedagogically sound education environments across Europe.

💭 A lack of solid evidence and the absence of a common understanding of what constitutes good evidence are key issues we have identified in our latest research paper: Evaluation Mechanisms: A Way to Increase Trust in Educational Technologies?   These key issues are further complicated by the shortage of testing environments and resources for thorough evaluation. In this Deep Dive, we look at the crucial role trust plays in the EdTech sector and explore how it can be strengthened. We also identify three key types of evaluation frameworks relevant to EdTech: those led by the public sector, those driven by research, and those aimed at commercial validation. We believe that connecting these diverse approaches to quality and evidence assurance in education is essential. Building trust in EdTech will require a collaborative effort to ensure evaluation mechanisms are not only effective but widely recognised across the sector.
