Where innovation meets collective action in edtech.
Learning Impact Labs is the next chapter of a journey that began with the Empirical Educator Project. Now, within 1EdTech, it brings educators, researchers, and edtech leaders together to turn promising ideas into shared action.
Our aim is simple but ambitious: raise the floor of expectations and the ceiling of possibility for digital learning. To do that, we seek out ideas with the potential to make a tangible difference within 12 months—and convene the right people to make them real.
From AI to workplace credentials and beyond, Learning Impact Labs looks for opportunities where collaboration can accelerate change across the ecosystem.
How Learning Impact Labs Works
- Learning Impact Labs Live
- A lively, conversational webinar series—free and open to all—exploring cutting-edge ideas and opportunities for change.
- Learning Impact Labs Track
- Dedicated sessions at 1EdTech events where members and guests propose, debate, and refine ideas that deserve collective action.
- Learning Impact Labs Initiatives
- When an idea is ready for impact, 1EdTech engages its Contributing Members to make it real—driving adoption across institutions, companies, and the broader public.
Learning Impact Labs is not about waiting for the “big idea” to arrive from the top down. It’s about finding the sparks in our community and fanning them into flames of real, sector-wide progress.
