How can the impact of digital technology be robustly measured, and implemented in a way that supports teachers and learners?
• How can we adapt research methodologies to robustly measure the impact of technology in education, given its fast-moving nature?
Background
Technology, including digital technology and artificial intelligence, has great potential to transform lives, but we need to develop our expertise to deploy them well, and to help learners, families and carers to use them safely and judiciously, taking account of the need for a healthy balance of “screen time” and time away from screens.
