Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Technology is often portrayed as the future of education, promising personalised teaching, objective assessment, and equal access. Yet, education technology (EdTech) providers are overwhelmingly for-profit businesses and not institutions with education as their core mandate.
Using data scraping methods, this study builds the first-ever EdTech usage index that quantifies how much EdTech is being used, and how it has developed over the past few years. Further, applying qualitative text analysis, the study unpacks how education technology companies describe their products, justify their approaches to anticipate how technology may transform education as a public service.
