EDUCATE is a London‐based programme that supports the development of research‐informed educational technology (EdTech), allowing entrepreneurs and start‐ups to create their products and services, and simultaneously grow their companies in a more evidence‐informed manner.

Creating the golden triangle of evidence‐informed education technology with EDUCATE - Cukurova - 2019 - British Journal of Educational Technology

The programme partners businesses with researchers who mentor, guide and support this research journey, a key aspect of which is the evaluation of the company’s EdTech product or service. However, conducting impact evaluations of technology in education is challenging, particularly for early stage technologies, as rapid cycles of innovation and change are part of their essence. Here, we present the pragmatic approach to evidence‐informed education technology design and impact evaluation, as developed and adopted by the EDUCATE programme. The research process is shaped by the core principles of evidence‐informed decision making detailed in the paper. The contributions of the paper are threefold. 57130 ch1.

Social Media in the Writing Classroom and Beyond - Zheng - - Major Reference Works

What it means to be literate in the 21st century is being reshaped to include not only traditional literacies, that is, reading and writing in print‐based environments, but also the knowledge, skills, and strategies needed for comprehending and communicating via new technologies. Accordingly, the term multiliteracies was coined by a team of literacy researchers in the New London Group (1996), referring to the literacies required of students amid the ever‐changing landscape of emerging technologies.

In addition to emphasizing a broader concept of literacy, multiliteracy addresses the importance of cultural and linguistic diversity and multimodal representations. The notion of multiliteracies can open up new possibilities for second language teaching, especially in the area of writing. Making the Case.

In recent years, we have witnessed several situations that raise new and old questions about ethics.

Just as we wrap up this Special Issue, in fact, our news feeds unveil details of the latest case, where Cambridge Analytica, a large data mining and analysis firm, was able to access personal details of 50 million Facebook users without their direct permission or knowledge. This case is just the latest in a long list that illuminate the complications of ethics in social media practices (i.e., wide scale public shaming), data management (i.e., deliberate or accidental releases of private information), data slippage (i.e., moving from one context to another), technology design (i.e., search engine bias), and multiple other areas relevant for (social) life today.
