Educational technology (often abbreviated as edtech) encompasses computer hardware, software, along with educational theories and practices, used to facilitate learning and teaching. When referred to by its abbreviation, "EdTech," it often denotes the industry of companies that develop educational technology. Scholars such as Tanner Mirrlees and Shahid Alvi (2019) have described the edtech industry as consisting largely of privately owned companies involved in producing and distributing educational technologies for commercial purposes.
