In many research organisations, systematic literature reviews often happen manually, especially at country-level. To improve the speed of literature reviews and improve the efficiency of literature reviews across the sector, the present document presents a short topic brief that explores the use of AI to automate EdTech literature reviews. The topic brief considers several questions: What tools are available for conducting automated evidence reviews? How appropriate are these existing tools?...

This focused on a unique, school-based, peer-facilitated professional learning programme for primary teachers: OER4Schools integrates interactive pedagogy, open digital educational resources and mobile learning. Teacher interviews carried out 18 months after a...
