Description¶

The panel's three overarching recommendations for the field's future: the field 'should communicate more clearly about the unique characteristics of its research' to distinguish it from general educational technology R&D; 'the field needs to strengthen reporting of project outcomes' because it is currently too hard to learn what is being accomplished; and the field 'should continue to sharpen and advance the equity work within its thematic research'.

Design Implications¶
