Introducing the first edition of the EdTech Strategy Lab Deep Dives

The EdTech Strategy Lab is excited to announce the launch of our first research paper - a Deep Dive into the lack of solid evidence and the absence of a common understanding of what constitutes good evidence.

The first edition of our Deep Dive series, entitled Evaluation Mechanisms: A Way to Increase Trust in Educational Technologies? focuses on how these key issues are complicated further by the shortage of testing environments and lack of resources for thorough evaluation.

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.

We invite you to read the report via the link below - stay tuned for the next Deep Dive coming soon!
