There are record numbers of investments into digital education technology, writes Goldie Blumenstyk, some of it even in the form of SPACs, "blank check" companies "created to raise money from investors in public markets even before it's specified what businesses the company will own and operate," but there isn't a corresponding investment in infrastructure and resources to study the impact. It's a circle of gridlock, she writes, where "most companies and investors won't fund that kind of research unless customers insist on seeing such information before they buy. And most colleges don't make those demands." Image: Chronicle.
