In-person only event

Thursday 5th November 2026, Faculty of Education, Room GS4

Talk 4:00pm – 5:00pm, Networking 5:00pm – 5:45pm

In this thought-provoking talk, Professor Natalia Kucirkova will explore a key question facing education today:

“What kind of technology, for whom, under what conditions, and with what evidence of impact do we want?”

The session will consider why educational technology should move beyond technology-led adoption towards evidence-led innovation, examining issues of effectiveness, ethics, equity and environmental sustainability.
