Abstract
Much of the debate about academic collaboration with digital companies (see Livingstone, Orben & Odgers, 2023) has surrounded commercial use of data and children's mental health. The debate has also spilled into the educational value of technologies and academic collaboration with companies to improve their learning design. Given the close relationship between learning and mental health, the evaluation of digital companies' impact should focus on both their emotional and educational effects. The collaborative models used by educational researchers provide a source of inspiration for transparent evaluations and evidence-based recommendations for holistic interventions that target children's learning and mental health.
