Independence

Our editors decide what we cover. Advertisers, sponsors and affiliate partners have no say in our coverage, review scores or rankings.

Sourcing and attribution

We verify claims against primary sources where possible, such as research papers, official records, court filings and on-the-record statements. When we rely on another outlet's reporting, we say so and link to it. We don't present allegations as facts.

Accuracy and corrections

We correct errors promptly. A substantive correction is noted at the end of the article with the date it was made. To report an error, use our contact page.

Opinion

Opinion pieces are labeled as opinion. They're held to the same standard of factual accuracy as news, but they argue a point of view.

Sensitive coverage

When we report on sexual violence, we don't identify survivors without their consent. We generally don't name people accused of crimes who haven't been charged, unless they're public figures or naming them is essential to the story.

Use of AI

We use AI tools to help with research, drafting and data preparation. An editor reviews, verifies and takes responsibility for everything we publish. Abstract cover illustrations on some articles are generated artwork, not photographs.

Images

We use photographs and graphics we own, have licensed, or that are in the public domain, and we credit them.

Conflicts of interest

Writers disclose relationships with companies they cover. They don't review products from companies in which they have a financial interest.

Product reviews follow our published methodology. Sponsored content is labeled, and affiliate relationships are explained in our affiliate disclosure.

Jobs and events listings

We list education technology jobs and events as a free service to readers. Listings are not endorsements, and every listing says why it qualifies.

  • Jobs. We list a job when the employer is an education organization (an edtech company, education nonprofit, school district, college or university) and the role builds, sells, supports or teaches with its learning products or services, or when the role itself is learning-technology work at any employer, such as instructional design, LMS administration or learning-systems engineering. A general role at an education organization, such as accounting or search engineering, does not qualify on its own.
  • Events. We list an event when education or learning technology is its main subject, or when it is an education or training event with a dedicated learning-technology track or expo.
  • How we check. Every morning at 9 a.m. Central we read employers' and organizers' own job boards and event feeds, keep only listings that meet these rules, and link each one to the original. Job pages show a short passage from the employer's posting; the employer's site has the full posting and is the only place to apply. We delete a job when its deadline passes or the employer takes the posting down. Some listings are added by hand, and event dates and venues always come from the organizer. Employers and organizers can send us a listing; it must meet the same rules, and listing is free.
