TOWARDS SYSTEMIC EDTECH TESTBEDS: A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE

EFFECTIVENESS, EFFICACY, AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

By The Global Edtech Testbed Network

A white paper from the Global Edtech Testbed Network, a collaborative effort supported by the Jacobs Foundation to advance best practices in the field of edtech co-development and evaluation through “testbeds,” or authentic school environments in which to trial emerging education technologies.

The report outlines

• Key conditions for effective testbeds

• Essential components of successful edtech testbeds

• Lessons learned from system-wide testbeds

• Challenges faced when designing testbeds
