In today's post-pandemic world, there has been a surge of interest in integrating educational technology (Edtech) in the university classroom. However, implementing Edtech can be a complex and challenging process and encompass a wide range of organizational hurdles. In our Practitioners' Field Guide for Implementing Educational Technology, we translate cutting-edge research into actionable strategies for university staff members implementing Edtech across their institutions. With research-based recommendations for practitioners and empirical examples, the guide provides valuable insight into the key organizational processes and actors involved in Edtech implementation.

In six thematic sections, the guide is designed to help practitioners navigate interconnected issues related to leadership, strategy, infrastructure and building an organizational culture that motivates staff to engage with technology.

Thematic sections:
