Interested in how #EdTech can be designed to maximize efficacy and effectiveness? To open discussions, our new report outlines key components across three stages of EdTech development: 🔹 Logic model and theory of change based on researched assumptions, co-created with teachers and students; 🔹 Iterative Edtech testing and implementation, involving problem analysis and continuous adjustment in collaboration with diverse stakeholders; 🔹 Evaluation and analyses by qualified professionals to establish links between EdTech use and impact on outcomes. 🔵 A practical illustration of these principles is offered through Age of Learning's integration of efficacy and effectiveness research across curriculum development, user design and evaluation research. ✍ My co-authors – Drs Hee Jin B. Dr. Ekaterina Cooper – and I welcome comments and opportunities to continue the conversation!

How can government decision-making around EdTech be improved? Last year Brad Olsen and Rohan Carter-Rau from The Brookings Institution asked this important question. EdTech Hub was referenced in this thought-provoking analysis, and we were inspired to provide a perspective from our unique lens of practice-based research. From classrooms to ministries, decision-makers seek robust evidence to guide EdTech initiatives. Our contextual insights and unique understanding of diverse needs and perspectives can help shape and inform that guidance and support impactful approaches for implementing EdTech solutions. You have an invitation from Jessica Lowden and Rudolph Ampofo to read these perspectives, and join this important conversation!

Let's talk about the heartbeat of EdTech – the 'Why' that fuels innovation, beyond the 'What' of products. Very often, the rush to create the next big thing in EdTech lands us in the 'What' territory – what features, what technology, what platforms. But, wait! Pause for a moment. Why are we doing this in the first place? 🤔 The magic lies in the 'Why.' Why does this EdTech product exist? What problem does it solve? Whose educational journey does it enhance? Think about it. The 'Why' is the North Star that guides educators, developers, and learners alike. It's not just about delivering content; it's about transforming education, making it accessible, engaging, and impactful. So, fellow EdTech enthusiasts, let's peel back the layers and rediscover our 'Why.' Share your insights. Why are you passionate about EdTech, and how does your 'Why' shape the 'What' in your creations? Let's talk about this in the comments below👇🏼 #EdTech #EducationalInnovation #WhyOverWhat #TechInEducation
