How can you design EdTech that meets all stakeholders' needs?
Realistically, if your goal is 'designing EdTech that meets all stakeholders' needs', that is basically impossible; you can't keep everyone happy all the time. So, focus on the most important stakeholders and be prepared to explain 'why' to all the others. As an example: our company allows teachers to delegate the bulk of grading work so they can dedicate themselves to stuff where they add much more value. AI is a technology that may or may not be able to do that for teachers in the future, but not today. That means I've had to explain a million times why we're not using AI to grade students' documents and instead delegate grading to external qualified professionals instead. But I don't mind, as my focus is on helping teachers today.

How can you design EdTech that meets all stakeholders' needs?
Loving all the previous explanations. I would add that you need to define on which axis or dimension you are trying to improve stakeholders' lives. So often we claim to make life easier for teachers when really we are adding to their workload. So, for example, are you trying to do something less expensively or more efficiently, or are you trying to teach more to students, or making them remember it for longer time, or are you trying to make them more engaged or stay longer in education or making them safer? Just be clear and honest about it.

How can you design EdTech that meets all stakeholders' needs?
Step 1 is to distinguish between your actual users (those who will interact with your application or service) and other stakeholders. Users are often students, teachers and sometimes school management and parents. Depending on the phase you find yourself in, the other stakeholders may be school boards but also investors or other financiers. Design for your users, communicate with your other stakeholders.

I read for a 1-year MPhil degree in Computer Speech & Language Processing, a cross-departmental take on computational linguistics combined with speech technology. From semantics to computer science and from Prolog to C++ through discourse analysis, psycholinguistics and pragmatics.
I wrote my thesis on the subject of Speaker Adaptation of Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) for Speech Recognition using the HTK. -

Activiteiten en verenigingen:I was a board member and conference committee member of the Utrecht chapter of the European students' association AEGEE. I was also a member at student association Unitas. At the Faculty of Humanities I participated in a number of theatre productions.
I read my MS (Drs.) degree in Phonetics, combining both the exact side of speech and signal processing with linguistics and even psychology. My specialisation was Language and Speech Automation (Taal- en Spraakautomatisering). I wrote my thesis at IPO (Instituut voor Perceptieonderzoek) in Eindhoven.
