Types of Research, Evidence and Advice
The EdTech Hub has produced 3 different types of resources to support policy makers:
- Rapid Evidence Reviews. These are reviews looking at the existing literature in a systematic way – with a higher level of rigor than an evidence summary.
- Evidence Summaries. Quick fire evidence summaries to quickly meet the need of policy makers – often combining existing evidence with on the ground reports.
- Helpdesk responses. The EdTech Hub Helpdesk supports FCDO and World Bank staff with EdTech advice. We make the advice public if it is possible. Learn more about the EdTech Hub Helpdesk here.
