Equity in Edtech by Design

Keywords:

EdTech, equity, educational technologies, pedagogikk

Synopsis

This report aims to provide guidance for improving equitable EdTech design, policy and practice. We identified relevant academic literature and captured best practices in identifying equitable EdTech features, as well as biassed design and organisational practices in EdTech. Our approach draws from existing literature indicating that accepted standards and indicators have generally proven to positively influence developer and consumer awareness, as well as policy-makers’ decision-making.
