A Framework for Powerful Learning with Emerging Technology

Digital Promise’s Framework for Powerful Learning with Emerging Technology provides research-based guidance for designing and implementing education technologies that enhance, rather than replace, human intelligence. Grounded in three principles—learner-centered, evidence-based, and skill-building—the framework outlines actionable strategies to promote agency, metacognition, accessibility, critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. Drawing on research and 59 expert interviews, the report offers practical design recommendations for developers, educators, and leaders to ensure emerging technologies support equitable, meaningful, and future-ready learning experiences.
