N1 - Funding Information: Edtech is also being supported and funded by highly influential technology figures, particularly through their personal philanthropic and investment vehicles. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI), for example, funds the Edtech Evidence Exchange. Funders and policy influencers like CZI are also supporting innovative new learning sciences approaches to the measurement of cognitive and brain-based learning processes, including agendas such as ‘learning engineering ’—mentioned above— and the use of biosensors and neurotechnologies for student assessment. While the Gates Foundation has been active in education for decades, CZI and Schmidt Futures —the philanthropic and investment initiative of ex-Google chief executive and chair Eric Schmidt— have become generous donors to edtech startups and technology-based initiatives, as well as investors in profit-making edtech companies and powerful, politically-connected lobbyists for tech-based educational transformation. Reed Hastings of Netflix has established an educational training retreat, Peter Thiel of PayPal and Palantir established an alternative model to higher education, Tesla founder Elon Musk set up a secretive school called Ad Astra within the SpaceX programme, and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos has begun establishing a network of Bezos Academy pre-schools too. Technology wealth and power is now playing an important role in establishing visions of the future of technology-intensive education. Copyright: Copyright 2021 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
