“These values will help build forthcoming EdTech products that are robust and optimised. As we march towards the future of education, we shall use evidence as our roadmap for collective endeavours and efforts to shape a culture of evidence-driven EdTech.”

[Rina Lai, PhD, FRSA @rinalai_phd]

The future of EdTech? It’s evidence-based. Here, we discuss the role of teachers in participating and shaping a sustainable future of EdTech: https://t.co/n0vVFJjq8r #edtech #evidence #futureofeducation #digitallearning

[Rina Lai, PhD, FRSA @rinalai_phd]

“We ought to place evidence at the centre of design, development, and deployment for effective use of technologies….We envision that the future of EdTech will be evidence-based, driven by close engagements between different stakeholders to corroborate shared values.”
