Abstract

The value of educational technologies in K-12 school education continues to be debated even though these technologies are promoted as one of the major reasons for increased work productivity and economic success in countries such as the United States of America (USA), United Kingdom (UK) and in Australia. Little academic research in the field of school education however, has been conducted that provides insights into how the value of educational technologies in school education can be measured. As such, a consortium of government and non-government agencies in the USA, UK and Australia has established a collaborative research project to investigate how educational technologies may be measured. This paper outlines the 'proof of concept' approach to a pilot case study conducted in Australia in late 2006 to trial a method of measuring the value of educational technologies in schools, with a view to informing the approach to be used in three case studies to be conducted in 2007.
