What if we used science to innovate in education with digital technology? with Serge Gérin-Lajoie, professor Téluq University

During the covid-19 pandemic, we have seen that even during rapid developments or even blind navigation by decision makers, a scientific approach can be used to anticipate or consider certain aspects. Why don't we do the same thing with digital education and even education in general? Wouldn't this allow us to avoid reinventing the wheel or letting ourselves be influenced by fads?
