The project is dedicated to the phenomenon of edtech testbeds. It examines the current emergence of settings for the testing and\/or (re-)design of edtech. In doing so, the project investigates the collaboration between (edtech) companies, educational practice, and research within testbed initiatives. It explores the shaping of new governance structures and actor constellations in the field as well as the discourses and practices around edtech &#8222;impact&#8220;.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Publications<\/summary>\n<p><strong>Journal articles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Joecks, L. &amp; Hartong, S.
