      Educational Technology Policy, Research, & Outreach

 



















Welcome to ETO’s Policy information portal -- a listing of resources all related to Educational Technology Policy. If you would like to recommend or request a link, please email the information to our webmaster.

Educational Technology Policy, Research and Outreach’s mission is to deepen understanding of the connection between research, policy and practice in the area of educational technology in the PK-20 community through advocacy, policy and leadership development.

The Policy and Research arm of Educational Technology Outreach is one of the leaders in policy and policy research in educational technology and ICT, and its wider economic, social and global implications. Our objectives are:

  • to advance understanding of the relationship between educational technology developments and society through pioneering multidisciplinary collaborations and research
  • to generate new empirical data, methods, concepts and theories which explain the role of educational technology
  • to deliver training which provides the analytical and practical skills needed to understand and respond to the educational technology challenges of the future
  • to advise those concerned with the development and implementation of educational technology policy and those seeking to manage educational technology in society
  • to work with educators, educational systems, industry, policy-makers and civil society to develop the tools and techniques needed to manage educational technology for purposes of digital equity, sustainable development, and increased student achievement and social well-being

Send us an e-mail if you would like to subscribe to the EDTECH-COE News mailing list. Ed Tech News provides you with timely information on new technology research, policy issues and briefs, publications, meetings, and professional development.
