This event marked the launch of our new digital education programme and associated report, written by researchers at the London Knowledge Lab and Learning Sciences Research Institute, University of Nottingham.

The programme - Supported by Futurelab at NFER and Nominet Trust and in partnership with the Mozilla Foundation - will explore new models of learning practice that use digital technology, and support young people to become confident digital makers, building on past Nesta work including the Next Gen. report published last year.

The report, entitled Decoding Learning: The Proof, Promise and Potential of Digital Education, brings together research, technology and the classroom, and explores where different practices with technology are proven and have the potential to improve learning.

Speakers included:
  • Professor Rose Luckin, London Knowledge Lab
  • Dr Kevan Collins, CEO, Education Endowment Fund
  • Mark McCourt, Chief Executive, Independent Learning Foundation
  • Niel McLean, Head of Centre, Futurelab Research at National Foundation for Educational Research
