What EdTech should Learn from Learning Sciences

As Learning Sciences and insights into ‘how we learn’ evolve very rapidly and the onset of AI and technologies are likely to become increasingly important to education and learning, EdTech may no longer be able to ignore the research and findings of Learning Science. We hear from three eminent Learning Scientists and education researchers in what they belief EdTech should consider when developing products and how EdTech entrepreneurs should engage with learning scientists to inform product development, pedagogy and technological approaches. Cognitive psychology, neuroscience, AI and pedagogy are seeing considerable developments that increase our understanding of learning and the influence pedagogy. Engaging with the experts and the research finding may only be possible if a mutual exchange between EdTech and Learning Science can be established to benefit learning. In a Fireside Discussion, we hear why a dialogue is needed.
