The Decoding Learning report critically examines evidence and asks how we might better exploit innovative technology to support learning.
It was commissioned by Nesta, the UK’s innovation foundation, to inform its digital education programme.
In the report, we look beyond published research to innovative practice among teachers and learners. We investigate “proof” (putting learning first), “promise” (for technology to help learning in new ways), and “potential” (to make better use of technologies we already have).
No technology has an impact on learning in its own right; rather, its impact depends upon how it is used. Accordingly, we rejected the lure of categorising innovations by type of technology employed. Instead, we identified the types of learning activities that we know to be effective and explored how technology can innovatively support and develop these effective learning activities.
