About
We partner with subject-area experts and organisations to explore the innovative and ever-evolving world of EdTech. We collect examples and methodologies of EdTech tools in theory and in practice and develop resources to help guide education decision-makers and EdTech creators.
Courses
EdTech Evidence for Entrepreneurs Course
The EdTech Evidence for Entrepreneurs course is for Africa-based EdTech innovators and entrepreneurs who want to ensure their EdTech products use the best available evidence for how to improve teaching and learning outcomes.
Tools
EdData Tools
The EdData Tools dashboard provides a mapping of technologies through the data life cycle in the Education in Emergencies (EiE) sector, gathered through research and crowdsourcing. This mapping is by no means exhaustive. Use it to supplement other sources as you explore technology insights and examples in order to determine which technologies work best for your context.

EdTech Tools for Teacher Continuous Professional Development
There are countless EdTech tools available for teaching and learning, which can make it hard to know which ones to choose — and how to use them effectively. To help, EdTech Hub has created curated lists of teacher professional development tools, alongside evidence-based guidance on how to use them well. Because it’s not just the tool that matters, but how it’s used, that makes the difference for teaching and learning.
‘6Ps’ Audit Tool: How to ensure EdTech interventions take into account the whole education system
Technology exists within a broader system of factors that need to work together to make impact at scale. EdTech Hub has codified the system into 6Ps: people, product, pedagogy, policy, place, and provision. EdTech programmes need to engage and integrate with all parts of the system in order to be successful. We have created the 6Ps Audit Tool to assess EdTech programmes and interventions and identify any gaps in the thinking and the areas of most uncertainty.
Tools for Running a Sandbox: Experiment types for EdTech
When testing and growing EdTech, we often use an EdTech Hub sandbox approach. A sandbox helps to validate and scale EdTech interventions in conditions of uncertainty. We provide a team and toolkit to test bold ideas within education systems.
Since 2020, EdTech Hub has worked with partners in eight countries, to test and grow EdTech based on our sandbox methodology.
This tool provides a non-exhaustive list of ways to design and run experiments.
