Episode description
Academics are increasingly looking to make an impact on policymakers, but critical ed-tech research often seems to fall on deaf ears.
In this episode Dr. Cristóbal Cobo – currently a senior ed-tech specialist at a major international organization – talks about the types of evidence that get most attention in policy circles, and some approaches that might help critical researchers get their messages through.
