In life, there is no digital switch. Digitalisation is transforming our society and higher education institutions. The Practitioners’ Field Guide for Implementing Educational Technology is an online resource that provides research-based recommendations for practitioners implementing Edtech. It equips readers with case study examples, discussion guides and checklists. In the guide, we unpack the role university leaders play in fostering engagement with Edtech, talk about the importance of trust and freedom for innovation and explore teachers’ motivation and resistance to use technology, and reflect on what is needed to build a sound infrastructure for Edtech.
