The implications of educational technology research for practice and/or policy

The implications for practice or policy section of AJET journal articles provides authors with an opportunity to translate their research for the readers who will ultimately use this research for change. In this editorial we discuss considerations for this with respect to the characterisation of educational technology research, the challenges in reporting on innovations in and with technology, and the institutional context of policymakers. Finally we unpack a core question for consideration by the ASCILITE community and beyond: how can the research published in AJET best be used to provide evidence for change in practice or policy?
